Netherlands’ Xavi Simons had a second-half goal controversially ruled out as the team and France played out the first goalless draw of Euro 2024.
The French started without Kylian Mbappe after he broke his nose in the win against Austria on Sunday and they clearly missed their captain as they failed to take a number of chances.
However, it will be the Netherlands who will feel most aggrieved at not claiming the three points after Simons’ strike was disallowed.
Simons’ drive from distance was disallowed by the on-field officials, led by referee Anthony Taylor, for an apparent obstruction.
The result means both sides are on four points in Group D, while Poland are eliminated.
