PARIS (Interstat) — Mathys Tel scored three goals and added an assist as France U21 overwhelmed Switzerland U21 7-1 in a dominant attacking display. France struck early and never let the visitors settle, turning an open start into a one-sided result. Tel opened the scoring in the 10th minute, and Noe Lebreton doubled the lead in the 14th. Tel struck again in the 40th to send France into halftime with firm control. The home side kept pressing after the break, and D. Tabibou scored in the 51st minute to extend the advantage. Switzerland briefly answered when Liam Chipperfield scored in the 53rd, but France responded almost immediately. Tel completed his hat trick in the 59th, Steve Ngoura added a goal in the 64th and Kevin Danois closed the scoring in stoppage time in the 90+1st. Danois was also booked in the 55th. France’s scoring depth and precision passing repeatedly broke through Switzerland’s defense, while the visitors struggled to sustain possession or create consistent chances after Chipperfield’s goal. France kept the ball moving quickly through midfield, and its forwards consistently found space behind Switzerland’s back line.

Dehmaine Assoumani was another central figure for France, finishing with a goal and an assist. His contribution came in 62 minutes. Valentin Atangana Edoa recorded three assists in 70 minutes, repeatedly setting up teammates in dangerous areas. Sael Kumbedi also provided an assist. Lebreton and Danois each scored, with Danois adding the late finish after his yellow card. Ngoura made the most of his time off the bench, scoring in a 28-minute appearance. For Switzerland, Chipperfield scored in a 90-minute outing, while Alessio Besio supplied an assist in 44 minutes. The result reflected France’s superior efficiency in the final third and its ability to turn spells of pressure into goals. France’s midfield kept Switzerland pinned back for long stretches, and the hosts’ quick ball movement created repeated openings. Switzerland, meanwhile, found little rhythm after its early second-half goal and rarely threatened to cut into the deficit.

Switzerland made three changes at halftime, bringing on N. Streit, A. Vogt and S. Krasniqi. The visitors made another substitution in the 60th minute when L. Srdanovic entered. France responded with changes in the 62nd minute, as D. Methalie and Tabibou came on. France made two more substitutions in the 70th minute, with Atangana and C. Mawissa entering, and Switzerland made a change in the 73rd when R. Nyakossi came on. France’s final substitution came in the 76th minute when D. Bakola entered. The substitutions did little to change the game’s direction, as France maintained its attacking rhythm and Switzerland could not close the gap. The home side’s control in midfield and sharp finishing kept the pressure on, and the late goal from Danois capped a comprehensive performance. France’s bench players fit seamlessly into the attack, and the team’s movement off the ball consistently pulled Switzerland out of shape.

With the win, France U21 improved to 2-0 in this competition and 2-0 across all competitions. Switzerland U21 fell to 0-1 in this competition and 0-1 across all competitions. France’s previous result this season was a 3-2 home win against Luxembourg U21. The victory gave France another strong showing in its campaign and left Switzerland still searching for its first result. France’s attack produced goals from multiple sources, with Tel leading the way and the supporting cast contributing assists and finishes throughout. Switzerland’s lone goal came from Chipperfield, whose finish briefly interrupted France’s run but did not alter the broader flow. France’s defensive work limited the visitors to few clear opportunities, and the hosts’ dominance grew as the match wore on.
