You had to be strong and there was a bit of a lack of realism for the Blues to win against the Netherlands and validate their qualification for the round of 16. Without Kylian Mbappé, who remained on the bench, the vice-world champions responded to the impact imposed by their opponent, managed to create opportunities without being able to realize them. They were also able to count on a still enormous goalkeeper to keep their clean sheet.
Maignan: 8. He makes a big Euro debut! Vigilant for the slightest enemy attempt, the AC Milan goalkeeper further reassured his defense by showing from the first minutes that he was indeed in the game. Present on Frimpong’s first shot (1st), he relaxes well to repel a shot from Gakpo (16th). His foot stop on a cross shot from Depay is decisive (70th).
