— Equipe de France ⭐⭐ (@equipedefrance) June 17, 2025

France delivered a brilliant performance to defeat Poland 4-1, with a brace from Djaoui Cisse and a late goal from Matthis Abline capping off successful night for the French.

France struck early through Nathan Zeze, who headed home from close range in the 18th minute to set his side on the path to knockout qualification.

Just a minute later, Cisse doubled the lead with a stunning long-range strike into the top corner. He repeated the feat in the 29th minute, this time with his left foot, driving a low shot into the bottom corner to make it 3-0.

Poland had a goal ruled out by VAR early in the second half when Mariusz Fornalczyk was judged offside. They finally pulled one back in the 61st minute through Ariel Mosor’s header from a corner, giving the visitors brief hope.

However, France’s dominance continued, with Matthis Abline restoring the three-goal cushion in the 82nd minute, heading in from close range after Noah Edjouma’s well-placed corner.
