Leipzig, Germany (AP) – June 21, 2024

Breaking News: European Championship heavyweights France and the Netherlands played out a goalless draw in Leipzig on Tuesday, leaving both teams needing a result in their final group games to secure a place in the knockout stages.

Despite fielding a star-studded lineup that included Kylian Mbappé, France struggled to break down a resolute Dutch defense. The 2018 World Cup winners had the better of the chances in the first half, but Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo both missed clear-cut opportunities for the Netherlands.

After the break, the game opened up, and both teams had chances to win it. However, neither side could find the decisive goal, and the match ended in a stalemate.

The draw leaves both teams on four points after two games. France will face Portugal in their final group match, while the Netherlands will play North Macedonia. Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stages.
