Kant touch it
Gary Neville reckons N’Golo Kante was easily the best player on the park tonight.
And the game observer agreed, making the former Chelsea midfielder the man of the match tonight.
Fellow ITV pundit Roy Keane added: “He was brilliant. He has vast experience. We talk about him stopping the game, but that’s also the other side of his game.
“His passing was abrupt. We know he covers ground well, but his decision-making was excellent and he was neat and organized.
“He runs forward. He looked like a younger version of himself, he was excellent.”
France without shine…
Shades of the England performance on Sunday.
Yes, it’s great to get a win in the opening game. But it was far from convincing, with bigger and more difficult tasks lying ahead.
Match Statistics
A huge 18 fouls from Austria throughout the 90 minutes – and there are more than a few that the referee waved away too.
Austria also has more possession of the ball, showing its aggression on and off the ball.
Broken nose…
We will have more news from the French camp soon.
But this does NOT look good for Kylian Mbappe.
A battle
France certainly knew it was at stake. And there will be some sore bodies in the morning.
Austria were aggressive with and without the ball and made France uncomfortable that night.
They will mourn the OG that was the crucial moment of the game.
Kylian Mbappe’s apparently broken nose will make plenty of headlines tomorrow. How bad could this be….
He also missed an incredible chance with just the keeper to beat to score his first Euro goal.
France starts with a victory!
TOTAL TIME!
France exceeds its target to start Euro 2024 with a victory!
Austria 0-1 France
