The report, the result and goals, as Les Bleus ranked third in the Nations League

France ranked third in the Nations League by defeating Germany 2-0 in Stuttgart, thanks to a blow in the first half of Kylian Mbappe and a late goal of Michael Oliz.

Despite a promising start from the hosts, France’s quality has proven to the goal as the difference between the two sides.

The opening stages belonged to Germany, which gave a golden opportunity just two minutes away. Nickels Volcroge got the ball to play in Nick and Litdide, but his low effort was rescued well by Mike Minan.

It was an early warning to France, and Minan will soon be called to work again, as they were deprived of both Karim Adimi and BCL Gross, as the hosts took control of early possession.

The controversy hit after half an hour immediately when Germany initially gave a penalty kick on Adeyemi. However, after a long VAR review, the decision was rejected and Adeyemi was reserved for simulation, which angered the home crowd.

This feeling of injustice was doubled after just minutes when Florian and Witroz hit the post from a distance.

End in Stuttgart 🔚
Blues 2-0 and hung the third place in the Association of Nations 🔥

France, which made little in the attack throughout most of the half, hit a devastating blow immediately before the break. Aurelien Tchouameni launched a specific pass over the top of the MBAPPE, which controls experience on the left before being cut inside and drilling a shot through Mark André Tijin.

Barcelona goalkeeper got his hand, but he could not prevent the ball from nesting in the far corner.

In the second half, the Julian Nagilsman team dismantled and swollen but struggled to repeat their performance in the first half.

A moment of drama that was unveiled in 54 minutes when Dennis Onaf found the net after eliminating Adrian Rabiot, but he fled again to get up to the tie, this time a mistake by Fullkrug in accumulation.

France has grown stronger with the passage of the match, and increasingly threatening the table. MBAPPE has been a constant threat and is close to doubling its balance with an amazing shot and the other chance of separation, which Ter Stegen foiled.

In the end, the pressure of France said. In the 84th minute, MBAPPE raced again clear on the table, this time it was not selfish in a non -Oliz alternative, who took advantage of the house in an empty network to close the victory.
