Netherlands and France created numerous dangerous attacking opportunities
The match between the Netherlands and France, considered the "early final" of Euro 2024, ended with a score of 0-0. Both teams fielded strong squads, with world-class superstars, but the French team was without superstar Kylian Mbappe in attack due to injury.
The match statistics showed that coach Didier Deschamps' team dominated the "orange" team in terms of ball possession and number of shots but were stuck in scoring. The French team even almost "left empty-handed" if the referee recognized Xavi Simons' goal.

In the 70th minute, the 21-year-old Dutch midfielder shot past goalkeeper Maignan but the goal was disallowed due to an offside by teammate Denzel Dumfries. This was also the most notable situation in the draw between the two Euro 2024 championship candidates.
With this result, the Netherlands and France had the first goalless draw in this Euro. Although both have 4 points after 2 matches, the Netherlands temporarily tops the group due to better goal difference.
