Match Events

12' GOAL! France 1-0 Iceland (Umtiti)

Mbappe crossed it in from left wing and Umtiti rose highest to direct the ball home. It deflected off the far post before rippling the back of the net.

68' GOAL! France 2-0 Iceland (Giroud)

Pavard bends a cross in from the right and Halldorsson fails to claim it despite racing out of his goal. This allows the lurking Giroud to tap the ball into an empty net to give France a two-goal cushion.

78' GOAL! France 3-0 Iceland (Mbappe)

Griezmann slots a well-timed ball into the onrushing Mbappe who glides past Saevarsson and Ingason before tucking the ball home.

84' GOAL! France 4-0 Iceland (Griezmann)

Griezmann makes it 4-0! Mbappe stylishly backheels a through ball into Griezmann and the striker takes a touch and then beats Halldorsson to it before dinking home.

Match Report

France made it two wins from two in Euro 2020 qualifying Group H as they cruised past Iceland 4-0 at Stade de France on Monday.

Didier Deschamps' side got their campaign off to a routine start with a 4-1 win over Moldova on Friday and wasted little time setting up another comprehensive win upon their return to Paris, Samuel Umtiti heading home in the 12th minute.

Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappe and Blaise Matuidi all missed opportunities to extend their advantage during the first half, however, and they were almost punished for their profligacy when Birkir Bjarnason tested Hugo Lloris shortly after the interval. 

Giroud, Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann ensured a drama-free finish for the World Cup winners, though, all scoring inside the final 22 minutes as Les Bleus turned on the style to wrap up the most comfortable of three points.
