France
SwedenFrance confirmed their status as the tournament's benchmark with a performance built on Michael Olise's orchestration and Kylian Mbappé's finishing. Sweden set up to stay compact and threaten on the break, but France's pressing and movement through the lines reduced their counter-attacking chances to flickers. Mbappé's opener just before half-time settled any nerves; Barcola's composed finish after the restart killed the game as a contest. The three-nil scoreline is fair: France were not as relentless as the margin might suggest, with Zetterstrom alone keeping the arithmetic honest.
France
France were exactly what four group stage matches had promised: incisive, relentless, and occasionally held back only by a goalkeeper having an outstanding night. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring just before the break with a curled effort into the far corner, Bradley Barcola made it two in the 53rd minute when Michael Olise nutmegged a Swedish defender to release him clean through, and Mbappé added the third in the 74th from an Olise backheel pass that was as inevitable as the final scoreline. Thirteen goals in four matches; the French machine shows no sign of finding a lower gear.
Sweden
Sweden were disciplined and compact and were made to look ordinary by the quality that France can produce on their best days. Jacob Widell Zetterstrom's eight saves kept the scoreline at three-nil rather than something more damaging — it was a genuinely heroic goalkeeping performance against an attack that found every gap the defensive block offered. Gyökeres and Isak, the most dangerous forward partnership Sweden could field on paper, barely registered in dangerous positions; France's pressing and defensive organisation removed the counter-attacking threat almost entirely.
