AMSTERDAM, Oct 14 ― Kylian Mbappe fired France into next year's European Championships today, scoring twice as his side kept their unbeaten qualifying record with a 2-1 win over a depleted Netherlands in Amsterdam.The three points meant Didier Deschamps' men qualify for Euro 2024 with two games to spare, while 1988 champions Netherlands have to battle it out with Greece for second place in Group B.
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.The Dutch were again crippled by absences, with no fewer than 12 potential squad members injured or ill. Koeman was also missing Barcelona playmaker Frenkie de Jong and Bayern Munich's centre back Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutch appeared short of ideas and fragile in defence, especially on the right.
The hosts thought they were back in the game a few minutes later but substitute Donyell Malen's effort was ruled offside.
