In the final match of Group D of EURO 2024, the Polish team played with determination and dedication. They were not afraid to attack as soon as they had the opportunity. That is also the reason why the French team had many dangerous counter-attacks, relying on the speed of N'Golo Kante, Kylian Mbappe or Ousmane Dembele.

However, they did not handle the decisive situations well. Coach Didier Deschamps and his team also had difficulty in coordination without conductor Antoine Griezmann. And when they had good passing in the 42nd and 45th minutes, Mbappe had to finish from a narrow angle and could not beat the Polish goalkeeper. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw.
The Polish team played on par with France.
Right at the beginning of the second half, the French team accelerated, continuously pressuring the opponent. In just 5 minutes, Mbappe made two signature curling shots but one was blocked, the other went wide of the post. In the 55th minute, the French team was awarded a penalty after Dembele was fouled in the penalty area. From the 11m mark, Mbappe coolly finished, opening the score for "Les Bleu".
Mbappe scored from the 11m mark. He was injured after a strong collision with an Austrian player in the opening match. When he started today, the new Real Madrid player had to wear a mask to protect his nose (the injured area). After scoring, Mbappe took off the mask.
This was his first goal at EURO 2024. It seemed that this goal would motivate the French team to increase the gap, but they wasted many consecutive opportunities and allowed the opponent to have a chance to equalize. In the 77th minute, after consulting VAR, the referee determined that Dayot Upamecano had fouled Świderski in the penalty area. In the first attempt, Robert Lewandowski failed but he was retaken because goalkeeper Maignan stepped up too early. In the next attempt, the Barca star defeated his opponent, equalizing 1-1 for the Polish team.
Lewandowski also responded with a penalty
This was also the final score of the match. With this result, the French team only ranked second in Group D with 5 points. The Austrian team won the top spot with 6 points after defeating the Netherlands 3-2 in the match at the same time. Meanwhile, Poland ranked last in the group and said goodbye to EURO 2024 with only 1 point. The Netherlands team still has a great chance to enter the round of 16 as one of the 4 third-place teams with good results with 4 points.
