Diminished by the numerous absences, the Netherlands may have been cautious, but Kylian Mbappé saw them through on the first French attack (7th, 0-1). After the break, France insisted and Mbappé scored his 42nd goal for the selection (53rd, 0-2), France (18 points) fulfilled its contract. Despite the goal from Quilindschy Hartman (83rd, 1-2), the Netherlands (9 points, 3rd) are ahead of Greece (12 points, 2nd), winning 0-2 in Ireland thanks to Georgios Giakoumakis (20th) and Georgios Masouras (45th+4).
It was raining a lot at the Porto Dragon stadium where Roberto Martínez surprised by combining Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonçalo Ramos in attack. A good idea since the PSG striker opened the scoring with a header (18th, 1-0) and CR7 doubled the lead from the penalty spot (29th, 2-0). After the break, Portugal struggled to get into the match and conceded their first goal in these qualifications by David Hancko (69th, 2-1). Ronaldo then scored his 125th goal with the Seleçao (72nd, 3-1) but Stanislav Lobotka revived the Slovaks (80th, 3-2). Slovakia (13 points) maintains its second place behind Portugal (21) because Luxembourg (11 points) shared 1-1 in Iceland. Among the Scandinavians, Victor Palsson (Eupen) played the entire match while Alfred Finbongason (Eupen) and Jon Thorsteinsson (OHL) came into play (70th). In the Grand Ducal camp, Antony Moris (Union) and Alessio Curci (Francs Borains) were starters.
