In the final round of Group D of the European Cup, France 1-1 Poland, the Netherlands 2-3 Austria, the two games broke out at the same time, the two giants of France and the Netherlands missed the first place in the group, and the giants in the first half of the knockout round pushed it, which was simply too explosive.
In the first round of the group stage, the Netherlands 2-1 Poland, France 1-0 Austria, the two giants established the group status, and the two teams faced each other in the second round to 0-0, and it was a foregone conclusion to qualify together. For France and the Netherlands, the biggest suspense in the final round is who will win the group, because the second group will enter the top half of the group where Germany, Spain, Portugal and other teams are located, and the prospect of promotion is very dangerous.
In France's match against Poland, Kylian Mbappe returned after missing a game due to injury and started with protective gear, while Didier Deschamps also beat Antoine Griezmann, only to have France take the lead in the second half after a boring first half. In the 56th minute, Dembele made a point, and Mbappe scored the first goal of his European Championship career. In the 79th minute, Lewandowski equalized with a penalty.
France's 1-1 draw with Poland caused a big upset, but I didn't expect the Dutch team to have a bigger upset. Against Austria, Van Dijk's world-class defense was in vain, Austria scored three times in the game, although Gakpo and Depay scored twice for the Netherlands, but in the end Sabitzer helped Austria score the winning goal to beat the Netherlands 3-2.
1-1, 2-3, both games in the same group of the European Championship were upsets, with the French team disappointing and the Netherlands even more disappointing. In the final Group D standings, Austria rose to first, France ranked second and entered the top half of the death zone, and the Netherlands temporarily ranked third.
For Liverpool, Gakpo's two goals in three group games were exciting, but Virgil van Dijk's form against Austria was a source of concern for fans, with Ibrahima Konate and Brafenberg on the bench.
