France Secures Fourth Straight Win in Euro Qualifiers

Paris: France’s national football team continued their winning streak in the Euro 2024 qualifiers by defeating Greece with a one-sided goal. This victory marks their fourth consecutive win in Group A.

The match started with a scoreless first half, but it was in the 55th minute that Kylian Mbappe scored the winning goal for France from the penalty spot. Greece’s Constantinos Maopanosa was sent off in the 69th minute after receiving a red card, leaving his team to play with ten men.

France dominated the game, showcasing their superiority in passing and shooting compared to their opponents. They enjoyed 62 percent possession and made 19 shots. However, Greece’s strong defense prevented France from finding the target in the first half.

In the second half, France intensified their efforts to secure the win. With continuous attacks on the opposite box, it seemed like a goal could fall at any moment. In the 49th minute, a penalty was awarded in favor of France after Griezmann was brought down inside the box. Mbappe confidently took the penalty kick in the 55th minute, sending the ball into the net and leaving the Greek goalkeeper with no chance to save it.

Mbappe’s goal not only secured the victory for France but also marked a personal milestone for the young striker. It was his 54th goal for club and country this season, breaking the record of 53 goals set by Just Fontaine in the 1957-58 season.

Despite their dominance, France’s victory was limited to a 1-0 scoreline as Kingsley Coman’s and Mbappe’s subsequent shots were saved by Greece’s goalkeeper. Nevertheless, France remains at the top of the group with 12 points from four matches.

In another match, Ireland secured their first win by defeating Gibraltar with three unanswered goals. After a goalless first half, Johnston scored for Ireland in the 52nd minute, followed by Ferguson in the 59th minute, and Adam Ida in injury time.

As for the standings, Greece currently sits in third place with three points from three games, including one win. Gibraltar, on the other hand, has lost all four games played and has been eliminated from qualifying.
