A result that was destined to change and would not alter the standings, as France was already mathematically qualified. It is still a unique goal for several reasons.

Let's remember that France fielded several second-string players.

😱 Dadashov in history!

The Azerbaijani lead was scored by Renat Dadashov, who plays in the Polish Ekstraklasa, assisted by Dashdamirov in the 4th minute.

An extraordinary goal, considering that up to this point Azerbaijan had only earned one point in the standings, and in the three previous encounters between the two teams, the Caucasian team had never scored a single goal, conceding 15, as in 1995 they were overwhelmed 10-0 by the Bleus.

👀 French reaction, then Nkunku...

The French reaction was not long in coming, as Mateta equalized in the 17th minute, dashing the Azerbaijani dream.

A powerful leap and header for the Frenchman, served by an assist from Malo Gusto. Moments later, the French celebrated another goal, which was disallowed due to a handball by Nkunku.

No worries: the appointment with 2-1 was only postponed. Malo Gusto again provided the assist, this time for Maghnes Akliouche, scoring his first goal for France on his first start.

A perfect cross from the left, Malo Gusto placed it perfectly in the middle, and Akliouche just had to tap it into the net.

There was also time for a second disallowed goal: Khephren Thuram's goal was invalidated due to a handball by Ekitike. Thuram made up for it shortly after, scoring in injury time to make it 3-1, a goal that was counted as an own goal by goalkeeper Mehemmedeliyev.
