Mbappe shines, France maintains winning streak in EURO 2024 qualifiers

Playing away at Gibraltar, a team ranked 201st in the latest FIFA rankings, France opened the scoring after just 3 minutes. Receiving a cross from Coman, Giroud easily headed the ball past the home team's goalkeeper.

France dominated the rest of the first half, but it wasn't until injury time that the reigning World Cup runners-up doubled their lead. Mbappe earned a penalty and then converted it himself, helping the visitors go into the break with a two-goal lead.

In the second half, France continued to push the opponent deep into their own half. Coach Didier Deschamps's players had 82% ball possession in this half, launching dozens of shots.

Despite many attacks, France only scored 1 more goal. In the 83rd minute, Mbappe broke the offside trap and crossed the ball right in front of the home team's goal. In an attempt to block, Aymen Mouelhi accidentally kicked the ball into his own net, causing Gibraltar to concede the 3rd goal. This was also the last goal of the match.

A 3-0 victory over Gibraltar helped France gain 9 absolute points after 3 matches and continue to top Group B of the EURO 2024 qualifiers. As for the home team, losing all 3 first matches makes it very difficult for them to get a ticket to the next round./.
