    Anthony Martial, who got injured in France's win, set up Ousmane Dembele for the first goal in the 19th minute. Kazakhstan's Sergiy Maliy produced a fine clearance as Martial looked to make it 2-0 before the defender headed into his own net. Martial was replaced by Kylian Mbappe, who missed a penalty after being fouled.

    Italy overcome Bulgaria with a 2-0 win

    Roberto Mancini's Italy side overcame Bugaria, who fell to their second consecutive defeat in Sofia. Andrea Belotti got the first goal from the penalty spot just before the break with Manuel Locatelli getting the win with his first 'Azzurri' goal with eight minutes to go. Italy are top of their group after winning their opener 2-0 against Northern Ireland.
