Mbappe scored a hat-trick, Coman and Giroud scored doubles
France triumphed over Gibraltar in the qualifying match for Euro 2024 — 14:0. This victory is an absolute record in the history of qualifying for the European Championships.
The defeat was started by Santos – he scored an own goal in the third minute. By the 16th minute of the match, the hosts had a three-goal advantage thanks to Thuram and young Zaire-Emery.
In the 18th minute of the meeting, Santos confirmed his status as the anti-hero of the meeting, blatantly fouling Zaire-Emery and receiving a red card. In the minority, Gibraltar became an easy target for Mbappe, Fofana, Coman, Dembele and others.
Note that this match became historic for PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. The midfielder became the youngest player in the history of France and the youngest goal scorer in the history of the national team. His age on the day of the match was 17 years and 255 days.
France secured early access to the 2024 European Championship. Didier Deschamps’ team will complete the selection with a match against Greece on November 21.
Gibraltar did not score a single goal in seven qualifying matches, losing in all matches. On November 21, Gibraltar will play a match with the Netherlands.
