英格兰 17 岁以下男子队在 D 组以 4-0 的比分大胜去年入围决赛的法国队，拉开了欧洲 U17 欧洲杯的序幕。

为上个月在预选赛中输给高卢雄鸡报仇，幼狮队在拉纳卡的首场比赛中为欧洲杯的征战注入了活力。 

两分钟后，利奥·沙哈尔为英格兰队首开纪录，他灵巧的传中被后门柱处的米基·摩尔接住。 

格雷格·林肯的球队早早确立了领先优势，控制了法国队的任何威胁，并保持球的整齐。 

伊桑·恩瓦内里 (Ethan Nwaneri) 是青年狮队前线的下一个亮点，他从右侧蜿蜒跑动，穿过法国队的后防线，射门被贝利·迪佩帕 (Baylee Dipepa) 挡出，后者越过了马蒂斯·尼弗洛尔 (Mathys Niflore) 。 

摩尔的反面能量继续造成问题。他穿过一片蓝色的海洋，找到了一个漂亮的射门空间，为上半场的统治性比赛画上了圆满的句号，随后他很快就又进了一个球。 

France made a fast start after the break, ramping up the intensity and hitting the woodwork. 

But Nwareri relieved the early pressure, cutting in from the right before producing a beautiful curling shot from outside the area. 

Lincoln's Young Lions saw out the rest of the game in composed fashion. They remain at the Ammochostos Epistrofi Stadium to play Portugal on Friday before their final Group D match against Spain next Monday.
