Against an opponent ranked only 87th in the world, the French team did not need to play too fast but still created a completely overwhelming position. Kylian Mbappe appeared from the start, in the role of an attacker on the left wing.
In the 43rd minute, the striker born in 1998 made his mark with a dangling ball that allowed Kolo Muani to head the ball into the Luxembourg net from close range. In the 70th minute, Mbappe passed back to Jonathan Clauss to “fire a cannon” from outside the penalty area. The ball went wide, bounced off the bar and then bounced into the net before the helplessness of the away team’s goalkeeper.
“Les Bleus” played half the field but had to wait until the 22nd shot to score the third goal. From Barcola’s cross, Mbappe was there just in time to create the cutoff point, sealing the victory for the hosts. On the other hand, Luxembourg’s only mark was Enes Mahmutovic’s header against the bar in the 83rd minute.
