PSG star, Kylian Mbappe had quite a successful outing in his first match as France’s captain. The French team got a 4-0 win over the Netherlands on Friday night, to make a flying start to their UEFA EURO 2024 qualification campaign. Antoine Griezmann scored the opener with a left-footed strike that came off an Mbappe pass just two minutes into the game. Dayot Upamecano doubled the French advantage five minutes later, turning home from close range after a goalkeeping blunder from Jasper Cillessen. In the 21st minute, Mbappe ran inside the penalty area and finished in the penalty box after a killer through ball by Aurelien Tchouameni. The crowd at Stade de France were again rampant after Mbappe scored on a solo-effort goal to seal the match in the 88th minute. Near the end of the match, the Netherlands’ experienced forward Memphis Depay missed a penalty, giving the Dutch a frustrating result. France will visit Ireland in Dublin on Monday, March 27, while the Netherlands will host Gibraltar in Rotterdam.
