THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE MATCH
12′ – Outside the posts: Mbappe sends the ball to the edge of the penalty area, where an unmarked Griezmann is waiting. The Atletico Madrid midfielder drilled the first volley which collided with the table and Morris was beaten.
26′ – GREAT GAME, GREAT DEFENSE: France suddenly burst around Luxembourg’s penalty area. Fofana and Thuram are involved before Mbappe plays a one-two with Griezmann, but his fierce volley is somehow blocked by Morris from close range.
43′ – GOAL!!! FRANCE 1-0 LUXEMBOURG (KOLO MUANI): Les Bleus made a breakthrough! Mbappe is the architect with a wonderful shot down the left flank. He gets to the line and crosses to the far post, where an unmarked Kolo Muani heads firmly past Morris.
70′ – GOAL!!! FRANCE 2-0 LUXEMBOURG (KLAUS): Les Bleus double their lead in spectacular fashion! Taking a short corner, Mbappe sends the ball towards an unmarked Klaus, who has enough time to aim for the edge of the box. When he does, the half-time substitute curls a sharp shot past Morris on the underside of the crossbar.
82′ – GREAT DEFENSE: Luxembourg enjoys a rare corner attack that was well received by Mahmutović. The centre-half’s shot circles dangerously towards goal, but Menjan somehow manages to get it out and away.
85′ – GOAL!!! FRANCE 3:0 LUXEMBOURG (MBAPPE): He had to say! Barkola steals possession from record holder Jans and drives towards the penalty area. The PSG striker then shows great awareness to find his former club mate, who curls a precise first-time shot into Morris’ bottom right corner.
