The Liverpool duo completed 90 minutes in Leipzig – with Van Dijk captaining his nation – as the points were shared in the Group D contest.

Ryan Gravenberch was listed on the bench for the Netherlands, and Ibrahima Konate was not used as a substitute for France.

The Netherlands was the team that came closest to taking home all three points in a contested match that witnessed a variety of opportunities for both sides.

Ronald Koeman’s outfit struck in minute 69 via Xavi Simons, though the attacker saw his low drive past goalkeeper Mike Maignan ruled out after VAR consultation for an offside.
