Mbappé drew level with the great Michel Platini with his 41st international goal – and a little later surpassed the 1984 European champion with his second goal of the evening.
Mbappé is now in fourth place among France’s most successful goalscorers, with Olivier Giroud at the top (54th).
The injury-plagued Dutch, who last missed a European Championship in 2016, only kept up with the runner-up at times and had nothing to counter Mbappé’s extra class.
The Paris St. Germain superstar took advantage of the first chance to take the lead, then scored beautifully at the start of the second half following a one-two with Adrien Rabiot.
Group B: Netherlands slips to third place
On the other side, the Dutch celebrated the supposed goal: But Donyell Malen’s goal (55th) did not count because of offside.
As a result of the defeat, the Netherlands slipped to third place in Group B, three points behind second-placed Greece.
There will be a direct duel in Athens on Monday.
European Championship qualification: Austria doesn’t take advantage of its first chance, Belgium does
Meanwhile, Austria’s national team did not use the first match ball for the European Championship ticket – and had to watch double packer Dodi Lukebakio celebrate in their own stadium.
Coach Ralf Rangnick’s team lost 2:3 (0:1) once morest Belgium, which in turn qualified for the 2024 European Championships in Germany.
Everything was ready for the Austrians’ big party in Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium – even the absence of the injured regular players David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic shouldn’t be an obstacle. But former Bundesliga professional Lukebakio (12th) caused a setback early on.
Next chance for Austria in Azerbaijan
After the break, Lukebakio struck once more for German coach Domenico Tedesco’s team (55′), then Romelu Lukaku increased (58′).
But Austria came back: First Bayern Munich’s Konrad Laimer shortened the score (73′), then Dortmund’s Marcel Sabitzer brought the Rangnick team close to winning a point with a hand penalty (84′). Belgium’s Amadou Onana was shown a yellow-red card (78′).
Nevertheless, Rangnick’s team still has a good chance of qualifying: Austria can book their ticket with a win on Monday in Azerbaijan, and Belgium can also provide support in the evening game once morest Sweden.
Ronaldo scores twice: Portugal is harmless
Portugal also eliminated the last doubts on Friday evening. Double packer Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. didn’t miss their match point in Porto in the 3:2 (2:0) win once morest Slovakia. It was the seventh win in the seventh game for the Iberians.
Ronaldo (29th) converted a hand penalty to make it 2-0, Goncalo Ramos (18th) had put the 2016 European champions in the lead.
Portugal was able to overcome the first goal of the current qualification by David Hancko (69th) because Ronaldo struck once more (72nd).
But Stanislav Lobotka made it exciting once more (80th).
