Highlights from the Stade de France

France showcased their dominance in international football with a resounding 4-0 victory over the Netherlands in a UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifier at the Stade de France on Friday. Kylian Mbappé led the charge with a brace, while Antoine Griezmann also played a pivotal role.

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute, tapping in a superb cross from Theo Hernandez. The Paris Saint-Germain forward doubled his tally just before halftime, capitalizing on a defensive error to fire home from close range. Griezmann made it 3-0 in the 54th minute with a stunning free-kick that left the Netherlands goalkeeper rooted to the spot.

The Dutch struggled to create any meaningful chances throughout the match, with France controlling possession and dictating the tempo. Olivier Giroud rounded off the scoring in the 73rd minute, heading home at the far post from a brilliant cross by Griezmann.

This victory secures France's qualification for the European Championships next summer. They remain undefeated in the qualifying campaign, having won all four of their matches so far. The Netherlands, meanwhile, face an uphill battle to reach the tournament after dropping points in their first qualifier.
