Euro U21 qualifiers: France soars thanks to Mathys Tel

In the city stadium, the French U21s, freed from a crucial point, take the stage on Tuesday, ready to wrap up the final qualifying day for Euro 2027 U21 after their 3‑2 win over Luxembourg three days earlier.

France crushes Switzerland 7‑1

The tenth and final qualifying match sees Gérald Baticle's men crush Switzerland 7‑1. The Blues thus finish the job in style, securing their place in the tournament.

Freed from a burden, the French rely on Mathys Tel, Tottenham striker, who opens the scoring before the tenth minute. This goal immediately puts the Tricolours at the top of the match.

Noé Lebreton doubles the lead in the fourteenth minute, taking the score to 2‑0. Tel returns before the break, in the fortieth minute, to register the third goal, 3‑0.

Zidane bets on new Blues, the decision that divides France

After the break, Dehmaine Tabibou, on a pass from Tel, scores the fourth goal in the fifty‑first minute. Switzerland pulls one back in the fifty‑third minute thanks to Liam Chipperfield, 4‑1.

Tel completes his magnificent hat‑trick in the fifty‑ninth minute, bringing his total to eight goals, which places him fourth in the scorers' ranking. This hat‑trick seals the French victory.

Valentin Atangana, already a decisive provider twice, delivers an assist to Steve Ngoura, who nets the sixth goal in the sixty‑fourth minute. Kevin Danois caps the display by repelling the final Swiss shot in the eighty‑first minute of added time, sealing the 7‑1 final. The Euro U21 2027 will be held in Albania and Serbia from June 16 to July 3, 2027.
