On June 20th, in a match of Group B of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers held in France defeated Greece 1-0, securing their fourth consecutive victory.


Before the match, the French team was ranked second in the world, and under the leadership of Didier Deschamps, they have achieved impressive results in recent years.


They won the championship and were runner-up in the past two World Cups, but their performance in the European Championship has been somewhat lacking.


In the previous edition, they only reached the knockout stage but were eliminated in the Round of 16. However, in the current qualifiers, they have won all three matches, accumulating 9 points and leading Group B.


It is noteworthy that they have not conceded a single goal in these three games, demonstrating their strong defensive and attacking capabilities.


The Greek team is currently ranked 52nd in the world and has had mediocre performances in recent years. In the previous UEFA Nations League, they were even relegated to League C.


However, they managed to win the top spot in Group B of League C, earning them promotion to League B in the next edition of the UEFA Nations League.


They have failed to qualify for both the World Cup and the European Championship. In the current European Championship qualifiers, the team has shown good form, winning against Gibraltar and Ireland.


This is the final game of the group stage, where France goes all out against Greece, which currently holds second place in the group, employing a targeted tactical strategy.


Despite its formidable strength, Greece finds limited opportunities in the face of intense pressure.


Kylian Mbappe undoubtedly deserves to be crowned as the top player.


In this match, the only goal that secured France's victory over Greece was scored by Kylian Mbappe from a penalty in the 55th minute of the second half.


With this result, France solidified their position at the top of Group B with 12 points from four matches. Meanwhile, Greece remains in second place with 6 points.


Mbappe was the inspiration behind France's triumph. As the French team struggled to break through Greece's tight defense, Mbappe emerged as the hero.


Mbappe was awarded a penalty at the start of the second half. After the initial penalty was retaken, the PSG star successfully deceived Odisseas Vlachodimos on the second attempt.


Overall, Mbappe had five shots, completed two successful dribbles, and provided a key assist.
