ANDORRA LA VELLA (Reuters) – France on Tuesday scored a 4-0 win against Andorra and returned to Group H qualifying for Euro 2020 after their recent defeat against Turkey.
Kylian Mbappe gave the World Cup holders the advantage in the 11th minute, marking a disconcerting end to the match, which was also the 100th goal of the 20-year career.
Wissam Ben Yedder, then Florian Thauvin further strengthened their lead over the locker room with the help of a disconcerting goalkeeper Josep Gomes of Andorra, each scoring his goal for the first time.
Defender Kurt Zouma scored the fourth goal of the hour, also opening his account for France, heading to the goal from a corner, then jumping on the rebound to get the ball into the net after his first effort was parried from Gomes.
The win soothed Turkey 's 2-0 defeat last week and propelled France to the top spot in Group H, with 9 goals clear, with nine points ahead of Turkey and Iceland ranked third.
Iceland beat Turkey 2-1, while Albania beat Moldova 2-0 at home to rank fourth with six points, while Andorra remains stuck at the bottom of the group without a point.
