Arsenal striker Beth Mead scored the only goal of the game with a clever lob on the Austrian keeper (1-0, 17th), but the English lack of realism will have to be resolved if the hosts of the competition want to go to the end of the tournament which promises to be very open.
For their part, the Blues have been on English soil since Tuesday.
They took up residence in Ashby-de-la-Zouch in a comfortable base camp with red bricks and a green environment, in the middle of the fields.
France will start their Euro against Italy on Sunday (9:00 p.m.) in Rotherham.
