Dominant Performance Secures Probable Last 16 Berth

Mbappe Shines in Captaincy Debut

In a thrilling start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, France showcased their dominance by crushing the Netherlands 3-0. The match saw a brilliant display from Kylian Mbappe, who marked his first game as the team's full-time captain with two exquisite goals.

The French wasted no time in asserting their authority, unleashing a three-goal blitz within the opening 21 minutes. The Dutch defense was left reeling as Mbappe put France on the board with a stunning strike. His second goal, a clinical finish after a clever assist from Antoine Griezmann, extended the lead to 2-0.

Olivier Giroud added to the Netherlands' misery, heading in a Griezmann cross to make it 3-0. The Dutch struggled to recover from the early onslaught, and France continued to control the game throughout.

This victory gives France a strong start to their qualifying campaign and puts them in a prime position to advance to the last 16. The Netherlands, on the other hand, faces an uphill battle to qualify, with work to do to improve their form.
