Van Dijk and Co pull off defensive masterclass
The Dutch defence was tested heavily by France’s talented attackers, but at no point did the Netherlands backline look shaky.
Van Dijk led by example, while their keeper Verbruggen was also impressive.
Youngster Simons would be disappointed to have his thunder strike ruled out.

No Mbappe no party for France
France, playing without their injured star forward Mbappe, struggled in front of the goal.
The 2018 world champions had a whopping 16 attempts at goal but failed to find the net against a robust Dutch defence.
Captain Griezmann missed two big chances.

The most anticipated game of Group D ends in a goalless draw – the first of the tournament.

Terrific defending from Weghorst

Giroud can’t connect

Set-piece chance for Netherlands
Taking a free kick 25 metres (27 yards) away from the goal, Depay deftly puts the ball in the air for Van Dijk at the far post. The Dutch skipper jumps for a header, but the ball is cleared.
That was also the last of Depay from this game as he is replaced by Weghorst, who scored the winning goal against Poland.

VAR says no goal!
After a lengthy VAR check, the referee signals the disallowed goal stays.
Simons, who hammered a shot from the edge of the box, was not offside, but it seemed like Dumfries was blocking the keeper in an offside position when the shot came in.

Big miss from Griezmann!
Griezmann misses another sitter!
France pull off a brilliant team move as Kante steers the ball through several bodies to put Griezmann through on goal at far post.
But he fails to beat the keeper from a few yards out, as he snatches at the shot and it’s easily saved by Verbruggen.
