France and Netherlands draw postpones Group D

The qualification decision was postponed to the third and final round of Group D competitions after France and the Netherlands drew 0-0 in the fiery summit between them on Friday in Leipzig in the second round of the European Football Championship.

The French team, which played the match without its captain, striker Kylian Mbappe, who remained on the bench after suffering a broken nose in the 1-0 win over Austria in the opening match, raised its score to four points, equal with its Dutch counterpart, who is ahead on goal difference.

Antoine Griezmann, who wore the captain's armband for France while Kylian Mbappe remained on the bench, had an excellent opportunity in each half, but he tripped over the ball twice.

The fans of both teams celebrated briefly during the match, as the Dutchman Xavi Simons put the ball in the net in the second half, and France shook the Dutch net, but both goals were disallowed for offside, and both teams sought to snatch the winning goal, but each was satisfied in the end with a draw.

On Tuesday, France will face Poland, who have no points and are out of the race to qualify for the round of 16 after losing to Austria (1-3), who will play against the Netherlands on the same day.
