Overview

• Mbappé opened the scoring in the 44th minute after a precise assist from Aurélien Tchouaméni.
• He then set up substitute Michael Olise for the 84th-minute strike that sealed the win.
• Germany controlled the early play but failed to score, with Deniz Undav’s equalizer ruled out for a foul in the buildup.
• France coped without injured winger Ousmane Dembélé and navigated coach Didier Deschamps’s plainly low-key approach to the consolation match.
• Both teams fell in their semifinals—France to Spain and Germany to Portugal—before meeting for the Nations League third-place decider in Stuttgart.
