On the Stade de France, the French and Uruguay national teams, which have already met this year, came face to face, then the French beat the South Americans in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Compared to that match, both lines of defense were predominantly changed, which can be safely called experimental, but, fortunately, the attacking potential of both teams was not affected, all the strongest.

Immediately after the starting whistle, the French expectedly took possession of the gaming and territorial advantage, occupying another half of the field, the first dangerous moment at the gates of Campagna appeared already in the 4th minute, then Zhirou struck at goal from close range, after which the ball flew near the pole. For a while, the “tricolor” could not do anything with the opponent’s defense, but then they created two dangerous moments within a few minutes, first Mbappa broke into a shock position and shot past Campania, but did not hit the shots on target, and then Matyuidi shot through the goal after filing Griezmann, after which the ball struck Vesino and flew near the pole.

In the second half of the first half, the game calmed down, France continued to hold the ball a lot, but stopped putting pressure on the possessions of Campagna, except when Ndombele led Mbappa to a meeting with the goalkeeper, but Kilian could not get the ball past him, Pawar played on the selection, but did not hit on goal. In this episode, Mbappa landed badly on his shoulder, injured, and therefore was forced to leave the field prematurely.. Before the end of the first 45-minute, the hosts tried to break the opponent's defense, but did not disturb Campania anymore. Thus, the teams went to the locker rooms without opening an account.
