Gibraltar are ranked 201st in the world by FIFA. Facing the current World Cup runners-up - France - is too much of a challenge for this team even though they are playing at home.
Kylian Mbappe and his teammates dominated the game from start to finish. The French team's ball possession rate in this match - according to Whoscored statistics - was over 80%. The away team had 31 shots, while their opponents only had 2.
France team won big against Gibraltar.
Olivier Giroud opened the scoring in the third minute. France then eased up but continued to press, and scored their second goal late in the first half through Mbappe.
The rest of the match was still an attacking practice session for the French team. Coach Didier Deschamps replaced most of the midfielders and strikers, keeping only Mbappe.
Of France's nine shots in the second half, only two were on target. The World Cup runners-up's goal came from a Gibraltar own goal. France won 3-0.
Like France, England did not have to struggle to win a big game against Malta. This was a match in which coach Gareth Southgate did not use any Man City players in the starting lineup. Phil Foden was only brought on in the second half.
However, the visitors' force was still completely superior to Malta. After the home team's player scored an own goal, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Kane and CaCallum Wilson scored in turn to help the Three Lions win 4-0.
