The Netherlands, who were eliminated from the 2018 World Cup, appeared to be on track to join them as they led Montenegro 2-0 entering the final 10 minutes of their match in Podgorica.

However, the Dutch conceded two goals in the final ten minutes to draw the game 2-2. They are still on top of Group G, but only by two points over Turkey and Norway.

France put on a spectacular show for its supporters on the sixth anniversary of the 2015 Paris attacks, which killed 130 people.

Mbappe started the party by putting the world champions ahead after only six minutes.
