The devastating acceleration of Coman, the historic quadrupled by Mbappé, but also the incredible wanderings of the Kazakhs: find the Tops and Flops of the editorial staff at the end of this match between the Blues and Kazakhstan (8-0).
Tops
Coman had legs of fire
Admittedly, the low adversity can tend to relativize its good performance. But what activity of Kingsley Coman on the right flank of the Blues. Holder in right piston of the 3-4-3 French, the winger of Bayern did not evolve in his preferential position. But his ability to hit, overflow, make the right choice worked wonders on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. With the field in front of him, he delighted in rushing into spaces and constantly provoking his counterpart. And he was especially decisive with two perfect crosses for Mbappé on the 2e and 3e French goals. To see again at this post against another opponent.

Mbappé, a remarkable first quadruplet
He waited to play his first match with the Blues in “his” Parc des Princes to register a historic quadruple in the France team. Against Kazakhstan, the PSG striker was remarkably efficient and an incredible poison on each offensive. Four goals scored, each time showing lucidity. We will remember in particular his perfectly adjusted head shot on his third. This is the first quadrupled by a French player since Just Fontaine in … 1958! He was also a decisive passer for Benzema and well deserved the great standing ovation from the Park when he left.

Benzema, on its way
Karim Benzema continues to be effective with the Blues. In his last 8 matches in the selection, he has scored no less than … 8 goals. With his 3e doubled since his return to the France team registered in the space of four minutes. Each time well placed, he scored two fox goals from the surfaces and continues to heal his statistics: he is now ahead of David Trezeguet in 5e rank of the best scorers in Blue (35 goals).

Théo Hernandez: the other piston was also convincing
If Coman has burst the screen, we must not forget the good performance on the other wing of Théo Hernandez, in the launch of his matches in the League of Nations (goal against Belgium, decisive pass against Spain). Tireless, he was again decisive with two caviars for Mbappé (6e) and Benzema (55e) on well-adjusted crosses. A constant activity that has really helped to animate the left side.
Flop
Kazakhstan never believed it
125th nation in the FIFA rankings, the Kazakh selection has encountered many difficulties in containing the many tricolor assaults on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. Quickly overwhelmed by the speed set by the French, the visitors seemed lost and never seemed able to worry Hugo Lloris. They justified their last position in the qualifying group with three small points.
