France U21 Clinch Dominant Win Over Poland U21 in UEFA U21 Championship Clash
France U21 delivered a commanding performance against Poland U21 in their latest UEFA U21 Championship Group C encounter, securing a 2-0 victory and reinforcing their status as serious title contenders. From the opening minutes, France looked sharp, composed, and tactically superior — and it didn’t take long for that dominance to reflect on the scoreboard.
Within just two minutes, France struck twice. In the 18th minute, Nathan Zézé capitalized on a corner, rising above defenders to nod the ball into the bottom left corner with precision. Almost instantly, in the 19th minute, Djaoui Cissé doubled the lead with a thunderous strike from outside the box, rifling it into the top left corner past a helpless Kacper Trelowski in goal. It was a beautiful goal, and a statement of intent from the young French side.

Statistically, France dominated all fronts. Possession stood overwhelmingly in their favor at 65.2%, compared to Poland's 34.8%. France also managed six total shots — four of which were on target — while Poland failed to register even one shot across the entire match. That in itself tells a story of how the game unfolded: Poland struggled to break through France’s backline and were effectively neutralized in midfield.
Cissé and Zézé were standouts, but it was a collective performance of high discipline and technical quality. Loum Tchaouna and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya were lively up front, constantly probing the Polish defense. Meanwhile, Agoumé, captaining the side, orchestrated the midfield with calm control and vision. France’s defense was rock-solid too, not allowing a single shot on target and winning more duels overall.
Poland’s approach, with a more defensive 5-3-2 setup under coach Adam Majewski, didn’t pay off. They looked cautious, lacked penetration, and were often second-best in 50-50 challenges. The only notable moment for them was a yellow card shown to Mariusz Fornalczyk in the 19th minute — which further summed up a frustrating evening.
This win leaves France U21 level on points with Portugal U21 at the top of Group C, both teams sitting on seven points, though Portugal leads on goal difference. Poland, unfortunately, bow out of the competition after three straight losses and conceding nine goals in total.
France now looks ahead to the knockout rounds with momentum and confidence, having shown both flair and structure in their group-stage journey. For the fans and football lovers watching, this French side is proving why they are always a force to be reckoned with in youth international tournaments.
