The French team achieved a 3-0 victory over Azerbaijan this Friday evening at the Parc des Princes. She consolidates her first place in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
After a first period dominated without being flamboyant, the Blues found the opening in added time thanks to Kylian Mbappé (45+2nd), perfectly served by Griezmann.
After returning from the locker room, France accelerated. Adrien Rabiot doubled the lead with a precise strike (69th), before Florian Thauvin, back in the selection, finished in the 84th minute.
Didier Deschamps said to himself “satisfied with the rigor and continuity” of his team, despite the absences of several usual starters.
With this third victory, France consolidates its status as favorite in Group D and takes another step towards qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Next meeting: this Monday at 10:35 p.m. live on Antenne Réunion. The Blues will face Island for qualification for the World Cup.
