The three points earned Les Bleus qualification for Euro 2024 with two matches to spare.
AMSTERDAM: Kylian Mbappe fired France into next year’s European Championships on Friday, scoring twice as his side kept their unbeaten qualifying record with a 2-1 win over a depleted Netherlands in Amsterdam.
France thumped their hosts 4-0 in the reverse fixture in March, with the Dutch missing several key players after a virus swept through the squad. It was halfway through the first period before the Dutch gave their fans in Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena something to cheer, Joey Veerman smashing a ball over the bar when it looked easier to score.
It was the PSG striker’s 42nd international goal, overtaking French legend Michel Platini and putting him fourth in the all-time list.
