With achievements from Thuram, Zaire-Emery, Mbappé, Clauss, Coman, Fofana and an own goal from Santos, Didier Deschamps’ men returned to the locker room leading 7-0. This is a first in the history of the Tricolores since they had never scored more than five goals in the first period of a match until then.
Thanks to this performance, Mbappé and his gang became the first team to lead by seven goals at half-time in a Euro qualifying match. Scorer from the penalty spot, Kylian Mbappé took the opportunity to become the top scorer in the history of the Blues in official competition with 35 goals.
