France are again content with minimalism in their third European Championship match. The French drew 1-1 with Poland for the second time and will only go into the round of 16 as group runners-up.

Even the first European Championship goal from masked superstar Kylian Mbappé did not help France's filigree footballers to a place in the complicated Group D. The new signing from Real Madrid was back in the starting eleven for France after breaking his nose and put the title contenders ahead on Tuesday with a converted penalty kick in the 56th minute.

However, Robert Lewandowski equalized for the already eliminated Poles with a penalty in the 79th minute, meaning the Équipe Tricolore had to settle for a 1-1 draw and second place.

An own goal and a converted penalty is France's meagre output in offense after the three group games. This is enough to secure a place in the knockout phase with five points, but the French will be punished by finishing in the same half of the table as Spain, Germany and Portugal. The French will now face the runners-up from Group E in the round of 16.
