During the 2024 European Championship qualifier match that took place on Monday evening, the French celebrated another victory.

Didier Deschamps' players defeated the Irish footballers with a score of 1:0.

The first half was dull and neither team managed to create very dangerous opportunities.

The winning goal came in the 50th minute, when the French defender Benjamin Pavard put his team ahead with a fantastic long-range strike.

The Irish could not find the strength to equalize the score and had to admit defeat.
