Ibrahima Konate was not utilised as a substitute for France, and Ryan Gravenberch was designated for the Netherlands’ bench.

In a contested match that featured a diversity of opportunities for both sides, the Netherlands was the team that came closest to securing all three points.

In minute 69, Ronald Koeman’s team took the lead when Xavi Simons fired a low shot past keeper Mike Maignan. However, the play was subsequently nullified for offside after VAR reviewed the incident.

On Tuesday evening, the Netherlands and France will compete in their final group match in an effort to advance to the quarterfinal stage.
