The Republic of Ireland's slim hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 were further dented as France ran out comfortable winners at Parc des Princes.
But it was a different story in the French capital, with Thuram's goal taking the sting out of the game and paving the way for a largely comfortable second half for Les Bleus. As for France, Kylian Mbappe fired a blank - as he did in Dublin - as the Paris St-Germain star fired a volley over the bar from an Antoine Griezmann corner before seeing a goal ruled out for offside. But while he failed to score, the 24-year-old was constantly involved in the home side's attacks.There were no such goalscoring frustrations for Tchouameni, though, who fired in a brilliant opener after being teed up by Mbappe.
