The Netherlands and France are playing one of the most memorable matches of this first phase of the Euro Cup. The two debuted with a victory and are now fighting for first place in this group D. Mbappé, injured in the first game with a broken nose, must play with a protective mask and has started on the bench. The player who replaces him is Tchouameni, the Real Madrid midfielder, with which Deschamps has chosen to reinforce the midfield. Whoever wins will lead the group and will mathematically be in the round of 16. The two teams, favorites for the final victory, especially France, have not dazzled with their play, but they are delivering in terms of results.
Frimpong, a bullet, has the first
Enormous speed of Frimpong, which has been planted only in the area of France. Great save by Maignan, who saves France in the first minute of play.
