Overview

• Michael Olise struck in the 10th minute and Kylian Mbappé finished a late counter in the 82nd after an Aurelien Tchouameni pass for a 2-0 win.
• Mbappé’s goal was his 51st for France, pulling him level with Thierry Henry and leaving him six behind all-time leader Olivier Giroud (57).
• Ousmane Dembélé left with an aggravated thigh issue after replacing Désiré Doué, who departed with a calf knock; Hugo Ekitike made his senior debut.
• The match was played in Wroclaw, Poland, with France taking an early step in Group D, which also includes Iceland and Azerbaijan, and next hosting Iceland as Ukraine head to Baku.
• Before the match, Mbappé argued the core issue in a packed calendar is limited recovery time during breaks rather than the sheer number of games.
