Mbappé opened the scoring in just the seventh minute when he beat Lutsharel Geertruida to a cross from the right by Jonathan Clauss to volley past Brighton goalkeeper Bert Verbruggen, who was making his debut for the Netherlands. Feyenoord midfielder Quilindschy Hartman, capped a strong first full international appearance with a goal when he made it 2-1 with 10 minutes to go by beating Mike Maignan at the France goalkeeper’s near post. It was the first goal World Cup runner-up France had conceded in the qualifying group.
Substitute Donyell Malen thought he had cut the lead shortly after Mbappé’s second, but his effort was ruled out because Nathan Aké was offside in the buildup.
