🔴 France vs Germany | Mbappe vs Sepp Maier | Friendlies Club League

that's what we're talking about a match of colossal importance and one that has captured the imagination of anyone with an interest in this great game hello everyone delighted to be talking to you from one of my favorite venues in World football the orang V my name is Derek Ray positioned here on the commentary Gantry and sitting next to me ready to give you all the analysis is Stuart Robson and without doubt a match with the potential to bring genuine excitement it's France versus Germany well thanks Derek the best coach I played under would always tell us before kickoff earn the right to play if you can win your individual battles outrun your opponent eventually you'll get the space to show your ability I'm sure that's being echoed by the coaches here today here's the side France will go with Mike Menon begins in goal kellyan mbappe starts with Kingsley Coman in the wide positions and leading the line today Olivier jiru here's the starting lineup for Germany Mark Andor Stan starts in can score here Derek and a goal just what the fans wanted to see the ideal way to begin well here we can see it again and it starts with the ball over the top perfectly weighted and it's a good run matched by a very cool finish what a great goal that [Music] is and once again Germany get the ball rolling how will they react to this [Applause] setback and a throw in it's going to be well that'll be a free kick well they have it again really fine piece of Defending play to break us up good looking sequence mbappe genuine chance a goal that's two for him today they simply can't stop him no wonder he's celebrating well here you can see it again good run great strength and a composed finish Under Pressure that's a top class goal [Applause] so back underway with the score line standing at 2-0 he went in so dangerously with that tackle now the referee is the man everyone's looking at and he'll take no further part in this game that could make things interesting Stuart well I can't believe he's done that they were coting here it's going to make it difficult now Andre and the Defenders know they need to get tighter but quick thinking defensively Killian mbappe oh a really untidy loss of possession a foul it most certainly was free kick given well racing past his man very much run of a mill as saves go Rio and over the touch line for what will be a Germany throw in a very effective challenge put in Now options are plenty hav and he's lost custody of the ball here well he would have been disappointed had he spilled that one an unforced error you've got to say well approaching halime on the home side well that looked to me like excessive for what was the referee's reading of it and the red card has been shown and that puts a bit of a stain on things well they're in a great position but that could change everything it's a thoughtless challenge tar determin defending well totaling up all the stoppages we'll have two additional minutes jonatan close and so there it is the first half has come to an end here at the orang ven well choose your descriptive word where kilan mbappe is [Music] into the second half then will it be more of the same from France they were breathtaking in the first 45 you've got to say are they capable of matching that in the second half well truth be told he's only had a very limited influence on this game Stuart yeah he struggled to get on the ball in dangerous areas you can argue the service hasn't been good enough but I don't think his movement has been dynamic as it normally is he certainly needs to improve [Applause] here a chopping Challenge and the referee has got to have a big think about [Applause] it well the referee has decided to book him well it's not a good challenge and quite rightly he gets a yellow card for that oh great Play gundan credit to them for winning back possession well let's see what they have in store for them on the break and he's through here magnificent from Mark Andre tan so deciding to make a Personnel change at this juncture well time just challenge magnificently beautiful pass and the decision offside here promising pass they've given it away so a half an hour remaining and the referee Blows the Whistle it is a free kick good tackle and support available very quick thinking there and into the last 20 minutes now far from a smooth challenge now will the referee produce a card and that is going to mean a caution the referee is absolutely right he knew what he was doing there Andre Jamal musala well that's how to keep the opposition at Bay now perhaps they can counter from here that's a lovely ball the fans want to see a shot mbappe and danger still on a time for composure on the ball really being closed down France doing well to regain possession must score a goal how about that he's put it away to make it a hattick well just look at his movement he knows exactly how to find space and it's also a tidy finish that's a nice goal [Applause] well if there were any lingering doubts about the outcome surely they now have been removed there will be three minutes added on at the end Teo Hernandez close Teo Hernandez now well there it is the final whistle and France have prevailed in this one Stuart your thoughts well it was a very assured performance wasn't it I was particularly impressed with their play going forward really Lively almost cutting through at will at times the result was never much in doubt if I'm honest
