TOULOUSE, France — Antoine Griezmann missed a straightforward early chance as France had more than 30 shots on goal but failed to score in a disappointing 0-0 draw at home to a resilient Luxembourg on Sunday. Veteran goalkeeper Jonathan Joubert kept Les Bleus at bay, as the visitors frustrated a France side that now only leads Sweden by one point in Group A with two games remaining. France has 17 points, with Sweden on 16 and the Netherlands on 13 after beating Bulgaria 3-1 at home. France routed the Netherlands 4-0 on Thursday, but it was a hugely frustrating night for coach Didier Deschamps’ side this time. After Mbappe, striker Oliver Giroud and full back Djibril Sidibe went close as Luxembourg continued frustrating France for the first half.
