France picked up their first win of the tournament after a convincing win against Austria.
As early as the 2nd minute, France had the ball in the net via Kylian Mbappe but his effort was ruled out by the assistant referee for offside.
Jules Kounde picked up a knock in the 23rd minute and had to be substituted, a big blow for the Barcelona defender.
Les Blues dominated the majority of the first half, but couldn’t get past the gloves and the body of Patrick Pentz.
The first came through Olivier Giroud after a neat one-two with Mbappe, but he fired his effort straight at the keeper.
However, their best chance of the half came in the 32nd minute, as debutant Benoit Badiashile had his acrobatic shot tipped onto the post by Pentz.
The shot-stopper wasn’t done, as he was quick to deny Griezmann from scoring the rebound.
The first goal of the game will eventually come in the second half, as France took the lead through Kylian Mbappe in the 56th minute.
The big man showed exactly why he has the highest pace rating on FIFA, receiving the pass from Giroud before sprinting past the Austrian defense, beating Pentz for the first time.
The floodgate finally opened for Les Blues, with Olivier Giroud making 2-0 in the 65th minute, meeting the cross from Griezmann before heading past the keeper.
In the 78th minute, France had 74.2% of the ball, exacting their dominance in the match.
Till the final whistle, France kept toying wit Austria who couldn’t muster a single shot throughout the game.
