France took the lead early on with an own goal in the third minute, and they never looked back. They added more goals in the first half, including strikes from Marcus Thuram, Warren Zaïre-Emery (on his debut), Kylian Mbappé, Jonathan Clauss, and Kingsley Coman.

Gibraltar were reduced to 10 men in the 18th minute when Ethan Santos was sent off for a nasty challenge on Zaïre-Emery. This made the task even more difficult for the already outmatched visitors, and France took full advantage.
