Mbappe tapped home early on to get the party started

The game was France's first on home soil since being crowned world champions in the summer and with the trophy set to be presented after the game there was a celebratory atmosphere before kick-off in the French capital.

With the crowd bouncing and the wind in their sails, France came flying out of the blocks, with Mbappe himself forcing visiting goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen into a save with less than a minute on the clock.

The Barcelona man came out on top on that occasion, but Mbappe wasn't to be denied for long as he broke the deadlock after 14 minutes.

Blaise Matuidi's cross from the left wasn't cleared by the Dutch and a clumsy header from Quincy Promes presented the Juventus midfielder with another chance to deliver.

He did just that, crossing low for Mbappe to tap home unmarked at the far post and crank up the noise level even further in Saint Denis.
