Commentary
FULL-TIME: FRANCE 3-1 NORTHERN IRELAND
We're into three minutes of added time at the end of this one.
Fan favourite Kante enters for the final knockings to a warm reception, replacing Rabiot in midfield. This could well be his last appearance on French soil for the national team, with his best years now behind him.
Mbappe continues to chase that elusive goal, but he looks to be gunning a little too hard for it. At every opportunity he’s going for goal instead of letting it come naturally to him. Deschamps will be hoping this record doesn’t play on his mind heading into the summer tournament.
Mbappe has scored in each of his last six international appearances against European opposition, netting seven goals in that run. Will he add to that record tonight, which would see him match Olivier Giroud’s much‑talked‑about tally of his own?
Upamecano is fit to continue, meaning the issue can’t have been too serious. It did look as though Olise was having words with the fourth official as he was withdrawn, unhappy that the centre‑back wasn’t being allowed back onto the pitch – with this summer’s rule change meaning players now have to wait 60 seconds before re‑entering the fray.
