WC Qualification: French triumph over Dutch, Portuguese and Belgians entertained away (VIDEO)

On Monday, nine more matches of the 3rd selection round for the 2018 World Cup took place in the Old Continent.

Perhaps the most interesting match happened in Amsterdam, where the local Netherlands team faced France. Didier Deschamps' pupils managed to defeat the hosts by a small margin.

The winning goal came in the 30th minute, when Paul Pogba scored a precise long-range shot. Maarten Stekelenburg did not play securely in this episode.

In other matches, Portugal wiped out the Faroe Islands with a score of 6-0, while Belgium left no hope for Gibraltar with the same result. Andre Silva (Portugal) and Christian Benteke (Belgium) stood out with their hat-tricks.

Other matches ended with victories for Switzerland, Bosnia, Greece, Hungary, and Sweden, while Belarus and Luxembourg ended in a draw.
