L'Équipe de France scored a very impressive, very convincing win over a traditional European powerhouse yesterday.
France defeated Netherlands, 4-0. It is not so much surprising that France won, as much as how they won. They dominated the game almost from the beginning.
Indeed, French star Antoine Griezmann opened up the scoring in just the second minute, giving France a very early lead.
Then, Dayot Upamecano followed that up with a goal in the 8th minute. Just like that, France had a decisive lead not even ten minutes into the game.
Of course, French Captain and megastar Kylian Mbappé got into the act. He scored a goal in the 21st minute, giving France a commanding 3-0 lead that they would hold onto into halftime.
Mbappé added yet another goal in the 88th minute, providing the final 4-0 margin of victory for Les Bleus.
Statistically, Netherlands was not badly outplayed. They held a significant advantage in time of possession, and were almost on equal footing with France in terms of shots on goal and passing accuracy. However, they simply were unable to convert their scoring opportunities, while France clearly enjoyed considerably more success.
An impressive win for Les Bleus in this UEFA Euro Qualifying match.
