France were down a man after the 68th minute as Aurélien Tchouaméni was sent off, and hung on to secure the three points. Ibrahima Konate started, while Hugo Ekitike made a camero in the sixth minute of injury time.

In U21s Euros qualifying, Trent Kone-Doherty made his debut at that level for the Republic of Ireland, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 1-0 win over Andorra.
Goalkeeper Armin Pecsi, meanwhile, started for Hungary U21s as they played out a 1-1 draw with Lithuania.

In South America, Alisson Becker started as Brazil lost 1-0 away to Bolivia. For Argentina, Alexis Mac Allister played all 90 minutes in a 1-0 loss away at Ecuador. The game was a stormy affair that saw both Nicolás Otamendi and Moisés Caicedo get sent off. Both countries have already secured qualification so essentially these games did not matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.
