🧠 Strategic Utilization: Didier Deschamps’ Tactical Brilliance

Didier Deschamps, the coach of Les Bleus, astutely exploited the technical disparities between the two teams. He seized the opportunity to field a mix of new faces and young talents.

⚽ First Half Showcase

Only three minutes into the match, France took the lead with an own goal by James Santos.

Shortly after, Marcus Thuram added the second goal following a rebound from Antoine Griezmann’s shot.

In the 16th minute, Zayr Emery contributed the third goal after an assist from Jonathan Clous, marking a celebratory debut for the young Paris Saint-Germain star.

However, Emery’s joy was short-lived as he exited the field injured in the 19th minute, making way for Youssef Fofana.

Kylian Mbappé joined the goal-scoring festival with a penalty in the 31st minute.

France concluded the first half with a staggering 7-0 lead, including goals from Jonathan Clous, Kingsley Coman, and Youssef Fofana in the 34th, 36th, and 38th minutes, respectively.

🔄 Second Half Unleashing

In the second half, Deschamps provided opportunities for four substitutes, introducing Giroud, Boubacar Kamara, Ousmane Dembélé, and William Saliba.

The Blue Hurricane, however, showed no signs of slowing down, netting an additional 8 goals against Gibraltar, one of which was disallowed after a VAR review.

The only difference was that the French onslaught was slightly delayed in the second half. Adrian Rabiot scored the eighth goal in the 64th minute, followed by Coman adding the ninth just two minutes later.

In the 73rd and 74th minutes, Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé contributed the tenth and eleventh goals, respectively. A brilliant goal from Mbappé in the 82nd minute was initially disallowed by VAR, but he later sealed the twelfth goal.

Undeterred, France’s historical goal-scorer, Olivier Giroud, participated in the goal-fest, concluding it with a brace in the 89th and 90th minutes.
