Switzerland and France played out a Euro 2016 goalless draw which took the Swiss into the last 16 and saw the French win Group A.
Paul Pogba – recalled by France in one of five changes – was lively and hit the woodwork twice in the first half.
French substitute Dimitri Payet also struck the crossbar with a brilliant volley from Moussa Sissoko’s cross.
Switzerland could have had a penalty when Bacary Sagna pulled Blerim Dzemaili’s shirt in injury time.
France will now play the third-placed team from either Group C, D or E – meaning Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are both potential opponents – in Lyon on Sunday.
The Swiss will face the second-placed team in Group C, who are currently Poland but could be Germany or Northern Ireland, at Saint-Etienne the day before.
With Albania beating Romania 1-0, Switzerland would have progressed even if they had lost at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille.
