    AUSTRIA 0-1 FRANCE - REPORT
    France got their European Championship off to a winning start as they beat Austria 1-0 as Kylian Mbappe was taken off with a bloodied, busted nose.
    Les Bleus set the tempo from the first whistle, although chances were few and far between, apart from Mbappe seeing a low drive towards the near post tipped out for a corner.
    At the other end, Ralf Rangnick’s side offered little from an attacking sense until Christoph Baumgartner was denied at close range by Mike Maignan, and that came only two minutes before the deadlock was broken when Maximilian Wober inadvertently flicked Mbappe’s cross into his own net.
    It came as no surprise that Mbappe was the main attacking threat, but it was a huge shock when he curled one chance wide when sent through one-on-one after the break.
    That proved to be his final real chance, as the striker was withdrawn with a facial injury late on, and while Austria remained tight at the back, they equally struggled to create too much at the other end as their campaign ultimately got off to a losing start.

    AUSTRIA WITH PLENTY TO BE PLEASED WITH
    Ralf Rangnick will see the positives in that Austria performance; France did not create a huge amount of chances or impose themselves on the game like they may have been expected to.
    However, the manager will also want more from his own team in the final third - they will have to find a way to goal in their remaining group games against the Netherlands and Poland

    The final whistle goes and France have scraped to victory! Austria gave it their all, but just didn't create enough, and that own goal from Wober before the break proves enough to earn France the three points

    GIROUD MISSES A SITTER!
    It's catching! Kolo Muani puts it on a plate for the striker as he pulls the ball back towards the penalty spot, but France's record scorer can only deliver an air kick!

    FRANCE SITTING BACK
    Austria are dominating the possession in injury time. Can they create a chance of note to grab that equaliser?

    PROBLEM FOR MBAPPE
    The striker has been down for some time here after taking a Danso shoulder to his face. Blood is pouring from his nose. It doesn't look good for him

    SUPERB FROM KANTE
    If ever you need an example of what N'golo Kante does, he's just shown us. A dangerous Austria counter-attack, with Wimmer seemingly through one-on-one, but Kante appears from nowhere and makes a superb interception.

    Camavinga pulls the ball back towards the penalty spot, from where Thuram tries his luck, but it's a pretty tame effort and the 'keeper saves comfortably

    TRYING TO WALK THE BALL IN?
    France are queuing up in the penalty area to get a shot on goal, but the likes of Griezmann and Kolo Muani all refuse the chance to pull the trigger!
