The double penalty for the Blues since Lucas Hernandez is injured on this action.

The left side forced out before the 10th minute of play.

Giroud one step away from history

It is his brother Theo who replaces him.

A forced change but which will change everything!

After a few minutes of latency, the world champions accelerated and it was Adrien Rabiot, with an angry and perfectly placed header who equalized before half an hour of play.

Olivier Giroud will give the advantage to his team only a few minutes later (33rd), after a decisive pass from Rabiot.

The striker of the Blues thus scored his 50th goal with the jersey struck by the rooster and returned to a length of Thierry Henry's record.

The French were scared but lead 2-1 at the break against Australia.
