  • 95'
    FT: Austria 1-1 France! Mbappe's late equaliser rescues a point for France. Austria imposed themselves quickly on the visitors and made it an uncomfortable first half for Didier Deschamps' side. They prevented France from creating any real chances, before scoring with a clinical break of their own through Weimann. However, France were much-improved after the break. Coman and Benzema both missed chances, before the introduction of Mbappe changed the game.

    Onisiwo breaks the offside trap and has a chance to pick out Gregoritsch inside the box, but his pass is overhit, allowing France to clear!

  • 83'
    GOAL for France! France are level! Mbappe races onto an Nkunku pass through the centre, surges into the penalty area on the left and rifles his finish into the roof of the net, giving Pentz, for once, no chance at his near post. 1-1!

    France have been much better in this half. They've moved the ball much more quickly and have shown more ambition. Austria will struggle to hold on if this continues.
  • 56'
    MISS! Griezmann's low cross finds Coman at the back post. Coman jinks past Laimer, and has the whole goal at his mercy! However, the attacker loses his composure and hammers a wild shot over from eight yards.
  • 55'
    Good save! Pavard takes aim from distance in a central position, forcing Pentz to parry the strike away at his far post.

  • 46'
    France restart the action. Can they turn this around? With Denmark and Croatia currently drawing, Austria are on course to move a point behind the Danes at the top of the group.
  • 45'
    HT: Austria 1-0 France! Clinical Austria are ahead at the break, taking the lead through a terrific flowing move that has put Rangnick's men on course to return to winning ways following that late defeat to Denmark. France have fizzed but failed to fire, Benzema coming closest but finding Pentz in confident form. The holders have a tough task on their hands if they are to earn their first win of the campaign!
  • 42'
    CHANCE! Austria almost double their lead. Laimer races away on the break and finds Arnautovic inside the box. Arnautovic swivels past Saliba, before hitting a disappointing effort straight at Lloris from 12 yards.
  • 37'
    It was a superb cross from Laimer. Austria had worked an intricate move to free him near the byline and he kept his composure and found Weimann who applied a simple finish from close range!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 37'
    GOAL for Austria! Austria take the lead. The hosts hit France on the break as Arnautovic dribbles into the box. The striker finds Lainer on the overlap and he places a precise low cross into the six-yard box, where Weimann is on hand to tap it into an empty net!
  • 35'
    Lainer is penalised for handball.
  • 32'
    Benzema has a sight of goal after France win possession just outside the penalty area in a central position, instinctively turning to send in his second effort on target of this first half. Pentz is equal to the low strike and gathers.
  • 31'
    Griezmann finds a little space on the edge of the box, but he hits a tame effort straight at Pentz.
  • 28'
    Lainer meets the outswinging corner with a header that is on target but not powerful enough to trouble Lloris. Still, this is a promising period for Austria.
  • 26'
    Corner awarded to Austria.
  • 24'
    Coman dribbles ominously into the box, but Lainer stands him up and blocks his eventual shot.
  • 23'
    France knock it confidently around the back as they begin to take control of this game.
  • 19'
    Kamara is penalised for a foul on Seiwald.
  • 18'
    Super save from Pentz! The Austria newcomer can only palm a cross from the left onto the head of Benzema at his far post, and the striker probably assumes he has scored as he nods the opportunity back towards the net from close range. The grounded goalkeeper reacts sharply to keep the rebound off the line, exchanging a high-five with Seiwald before grinning with relief.
