Match overview

Both sides were already qualified, yet they served up a thriller in Amsterdam. France twice led through Dugarry and Trézéguet, but the co-hosts levelled each time before Frank de Boer’s free-kick and Bolo Zenden’s close-range finish sealed top spot in Group D for the Netherlands.

Trivia

Aron Winter’s late cameo earned his 83rd cap, equalling Ruud Krol as the Netherlands’ most-capped player at that moment.
