While France won easily over the Netherlands to start their Euro 2024 qualification campaign, Kylian Mbappe scored his first goals as the team's captain.
After only two minutes, Antoine Griezmann curled in from Mbappe's assist to give the hosts the lead.
Defender Dayot Upamecano rushed in to make it 2-0 six minutes later.
Then, after driving in and scoring his 37th goal for France, Mbappe added a second late in the game.
Griezmann felt left out of Mbappe's captaincy team, but there was no evidence of tension between the two as they celebrated Mbappe's first game goal in the 21st minute.
A magnificent solo effort by the Paris St. Germain striker two minutes from time saw him send the Dutch players toppling to block his shot before hammering a finish into the bottom corner.
Deep into stoppage time, Memphis Depay had a chance to score a consolation goal for the guests, but his penalty was saved.
That ended Ronald Koeman's first game as manager of the Netherlands in his second stint, even though the flu illness that caused five players to be sent home on the night of the game did not assist his cause.
Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, attacker Cody Gakpo, midfielder Joey Veerman, and defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Sven Botman also have the disease.
But Austria, whose 4-1 victory over Azerbaijan featured two goals from Manchester United's Marcel Sabitzer, prevented France from taking first place in their group.
France became the first team to take a 2-0 lead against the Netherlands within the first eight minutes of the game since Belgium did that in November 1951 and the first-ever side to do so without friendlies.
The Netherlands lost a game by a four-goal margin only two times in the last sixty years. A 4-0 defeat against France at the Stade de France on 31st August 2017
