Netherlands inflict first defeat on France since winning World Cup

Rotterdam, Netherlands, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Nov, 2018 ) :The Netherlands have qualification for the Nations League semi-finals in their sights on Friday after they beat France 2-0 to hand them a first defeat since winning the World Cup.

Georginio Wijnaldum struck on the stroke of half-time and Memphis Depay chipped home a cheeky stoppage time penalty to bag a win for Ronald Koeman's revitalised side that leaves the impressive Dutch needing just a point against relegated Germany on Monday to leapfrog France and qualify for the knockout stages.
