Summary
France and Sweden played out a 0-0 draw in East Rutherford, with Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise both denied by the woodwork in France’s clearest chances.
73% possession and 0.88 expected goals underlined France’s control, while Sweden managed 27% possession, 0.17 xG and only one shot on target.
Mbappe nearly broke through from Jules Kounde’s cutback at the far post, and Olise later rattled the far upright with an overhead kick before Ousmane Dembele curled wide.
Sweden still threatened sporadically through Anthony Elanga and Alexander Isak, and Victor Lindelof escaped further punishment after a late sliding challenge on Olise.
