Overall dominant, the France Espoirs team was however scared at the end of the first period, but still easily beat Estonia. Two wins in two matches, the qualifying campaign is off to a good start.
Friday, the France Espoirs team had started their Euro 2027 qualifying campaign perfectly with a big victory in the Faroe Islands. The Bleuets had piled up the goals, and to tell the truth, we could not imagine another scenario this evening, at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble, against the modest Estonia.

Faced with sparse attendance, the Bleuets took a little time to get going. A few poorly put together offensives, but it was on a very poor recovery from the Estonian goalkeeper that Wilson Posobert intercepted and offered the opener to his partner on a platter Mathys Tel (9th).
3 minutes later, the Bleuets recovered another ball in the area, and Djaoui Cissé smoked two defenders before finding the small net of a totally helpless visiting goalkeeper.
Without straining their talent, the Bleuets led 2-0. But they did not relax their efforts. A strike of Cissean incursion of Telthey almost won the match. But this third goal did not come, and the French game began to disintegrate.

A few moments later, Donobert was trying to cut off a powerful center from Telbut without success.
And at the end of stoppage time, the French complacency, which had been perceptible for several minutes, reached its climax on a useless hook attempt from Robin Risser. The goalkeeper had the ball stolen by Tony shadewhich made the nets tremble and left a bitter taste on the French performance at the break (2-1).
