After losing to Portugal, Germany was determined when they hosted France in Stuttgart in front of nearly 50,000 fans. The home field advantage and home crowd helped Germany put pressure on their opponents. In the first 15 minutes, the French defense had to struggle to withstand consecutive shots from the white-shirted strikers.
First, Woltemade penetrated the penalty area and shot hard. But goalkeeper Maignan was excellent. Then, Adeyemi skillfully maneuvered in the penalty area and shot decisively. The ball went straight to the position chosen by Les Bleus goalkeeper. The first half of the first half witnessed a nearly one-sided game. While France had not organized any attack, Germany had shot 5 times.
After that, France gradually regained control of the game and they started to create specific opportunities. By the 45th minute, the visitors took the lead thanks to 2 Real Madrid stars. Tchouameni sent the ball towards the far post, Mbappe received the ball and dribbled past Kimmich. Then, he finished decisively and dangerously into the net.

Maignan and his teammates played brilliantly to help France stand firm against Germany's destructive power. |
This was Mbappe's 50th goal for the national team. He is on par with Thierry Henry and Olivier Giroud with the milestone of 50 goals for the national team. Henry scored 51 goals, Giroud 57. At the age of 26, Mbappe still has a long way to go to surpass these two names.
Mbappe's goal made Germany "hot". The home team players rushed forward to find an equalizer. Adeyemi was extremely active in the home team's attack and he created many delicious situations. Unfortunately, all of them could not be taken advantage of. When the ball entered the French net, the goal was denied by VAR. That was the situation in the 53rd minute. The referee denied it because Fullkrug had fouled Rabiot in the previous situation.
Not only was Germany lucky, they were also hit by a counterattack at the end of the match. In the 84th minute, Mbappe made a cross for Olise to put the ball into an empty net, sealing a 2-0 victory for the visitors.
With a 2-0 victory, France secured 3rd place in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League. Not only that, they extended their streak of dominating Germany in official competitions. In the last 3 meetings, France won all 3 (excluding friendlies). The last time Germany defeated France in a tournament was at the 2014 World Cup.
