France met Iceland without Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. Both players of Paris Saint-Germain were injured on Friday during the first qualification match of the French with Ukraine (0-2) in group D.
Ousmane Dembélé for six weeks not deployable for Paris Saint-Germain
Andri Gudjohnsen took the lead after a mistake by Michael Olise. Kylian Mbappé used a penalty for the home team just before half -time. 1-1 Bradley Barcola made the winning goal in the Parc des Princes. The Frenchman Aurélien Tchouaméni received the red card for a wild tackle in the 68th minute. In the final phase it seemed to go wrong for the French ten, when Gudjohnsen scored again, but after VAR consultation there was a line through goal.
Another goal for Cristiano Ronaldo
Portugal had a difficult task on paper with a visit to Hungary. The Hungarians had taken the lead via Barnabas Varga, but ten minutes before the break, the European Champion of 2016 hit Bernardo Silva back. When Varga made a violation in the penalty area in the second half, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who took his responsibility and hit.
With that the victory seemed to be in until Varga was accurate six minutes before time. But in the remainder, Portugal still had a revival through João Cancelo, who ensured that Portugal achieved six points from two duels.
