In a friendly match as part of their Euro 2024 preparations, the French national team emerged victorious with a 3-0 win against Luxembourg. The match saw Fofana being substituted for Camavinga in the 89th minute.

The Luxembourgeois side found themselves under intense pressure from the French team in the late stages of the game, as France pushed for more goals to secure a decisive victory.

Kylian Mbappé, who had already provided two assists earlier in the match, scored his forty-seventh goal for France in the seventy-eighth minute, showcasing his importance to the team’s attacking prowess.

A highlight of the game came in the 82nd minute when Mahmutovic’s header hit the crossbar, but the goal was rightly ruled out for offside, preventing Luxembourg from reducing the deficit.

Thuram made way for Barcola, earning his first cap, while Griezmann was replaced by Giroud in the 80th minute of the match.

As the game entered its final phase, the French team displayed their intent with six shots on target out of nineteen attempts, compared to just one on target for Luxembourg out of their two tries.

Griezmann attempted a free-kick from thirty meters out in the 79th minute, but the shot sailed over the crossbar, keeping the score at 2-0 in favor of France.

Clauss failed to control a chested pass from Griezmann in the 78th minute, with the ball finding its way into the hands of the Luxembourg goalkeeper, de Moris.

The commentary for the live match was expertly provided by Corentin Marouby and Thomas Federici, guiding fans through the action on the field.
