After a dreary 0-0 stalemate with Israel on Thursday, which was marred by heavy security in and around the sparsely populated Stade de France, France advanced to the quarterfinals of the Nations League.

After Italy, the group winners, defeated Belgium 1-0, the hosts advanced to the round of eight.

After supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv were attacked in Amsterdam last week after a Europa League match against Ajax, Thursday’s match in Paris was played under strict security.

The attacks, according to Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema, were a “poisonous cocktail of anti-Semitism and hooliganism.”
