France vs. Ireland: Koné Shines, Olise Falters – Match Analysis

The bare minimum. On a rate of senators in the first period, ten against eleven in second, Didier Deschamps’ men still managed to avoid the Icelandic trap by winning this Tuesday, at the Parc des Princes (2-1). Captain Kylian Mbappé showed the way by scoring a penalty before delivering a magnificent decisive pass to Bradley Barcola.

Maignan : 5. Author of a relatively simple judgment (11th), he paid for the olise error on the opening of Andri Gudjohnsen’s score (0-1, 22nd). For the rest, he had a very quiet evening, happy all the same that a new Icelandic goal was finally refused by the Var at the end of the match.
