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 time, 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 on 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.

After resuming the game, the French seized the initiative and could have scored in the second minute of the inning, but Giroud broke the goalkeeper’s line over the crossbar.. But Olivier did not leave the field without a goal scored - in the 51st minute the ball fell into the hand of Mendez after hitting Griezmann, for which a penalty was awarded, which confidently converted Giroud - 1: 0. After a goal was scored, Deschamps' charges gave the ball to the opponent for a short while, and then took it again, having gone to score the second goal.. An excellent opportunity to double the advantage of his team had Ndombele after a cool cast by Griezmann, but Tangi failed to push the ball past Campagna.

“Le Bleu” did press the opponent and finally remove all questions regarding the winner of the match, but no longer created dangerous moments, and then completely gave the ball to Tabares's wards, who tried to snatch a draw before the end of the meeting. During one of the attacks, Cavani performed a cool throw into Rodriguez's penalty area, Honatan was alone in front of Lloris, but only stroked the ball, which allowed the goalkeeper to easily catch him.

This was the only time that the Uruguayans managed to create, so that they did not manage to restore parity, eventually giving way to the French team, which at least partially rehabilitated before their fans for their well-deserved defeat from the Netherlands.
