Everything was decided in the 72^nd minute when the Premier League side doubled its lead. It was an own goal by Geronimo Rulli as he deflected the ball into his own net, and it became clear that the French team would not be able to fight for a draw.

In the extra time, Cody Gakpo, who replaced Hugo Ekitike, scored the final 3rd goal in the game for the classic victory for his team.

That was Mo Salah’s 1^st game back after AFCON as he started from the 1^st minute on the pitch, but didn’t impress with anything significant to affect the game.
