SUMMARY
If nothing intervenes, in a few months in Budapest, the Portuguese and French teams will compete in group “F” of Hungarian interests in the European Championship, but now the group leader of the League of Nations A was in Lisbon.
The French, who were surprisingly defeated by the Finns, started the game in a more dangerous way and could have taken the lead in the 11th minute, but Rui Patrício made an excellent corner from Anthony Martial’s ziccer. The MU striker could have even scored a hat-trick in the first half, but then he couldn’t hit the head (he hit the crossbar from three meters …) or repeatedly with his feet (again the defended giant of Rui Patrício) .
After the break, the French supremacy scored, ironically it was Rui Patrício’s fault: the Portuguese goalkeeper hit a shot from Adrien Rabiot in the middle, who just arrived N’Golo Kanté who did not make a mistake at such close range (0-1).
The locals struggled to get through the middle and, as a result, had plenty of chances to come back when José Fonte tried to lift the ball over goalkeeper Joao Moutinho, but Hugo Lloris made a spectacular save.
The Portuguese have done their best to equalize, but they no longer have a bigger position, so the French team has won the group regardless of the result of the last round and can prepare for the final four next autumn.
