Mbappe is aching for the header but the kick isn’t weighted for the assist – and Pentz makes a straightforward save.

Rabiot sets up an excellent Griezmann run, the Atletico Madrid star slaloming in from the right to fire towards goal. He wins a corner, but sends an apology Dembele’s way – the right-handed forward could have done more with a sideways ball instead.

Just moments after Austria came close, it’s a red shirt at the other end who finds the back of the net.

Who else but Mbappe skitters down the right, trailing Mwene, and he fires in a cross to the six-yard box – only for Wober to head the ball in like he was singing La Marseillaise 40 minutes ago.

Heartbreaking for the Austrians.

Mbappe nearly makes it two as he gives Pentz an almighty fright, the goalkeeper off his line and grappling for the ball in the box. In the end, he traps it – prompting an enormous sigh of relief from Austria fans.

It couldn’t have happened in a more unedifying way for Ralf Rangnick’s side, but France deserve to have the upper hand in what has been an highly watchable contest so far.

The former Manchester United manager will need to give one almighty team talk to make sure that Austria don’t crumple. Imbue this France side with confidence at their peril.

Roy Keane backs Didier Deschamps’ ‘unorthodox’ treatment of William Saliba

Saliba starts for France this evening, but he’s far from the first name that springs to mind when Deschamps is drawing up the team sheet.

But Roy Keane has sided with the France manager with his handling of the Arsenal star. How so? You can find out, below.

Play immediately slows to a halt after Wober barges Griezmann into the advertising hoardings. He tumbles like a spinning top and ends up with a nasty cut on his forehead which needs tending to.

Griezmann comes trudging on, dressed up like Mr Bump, as France flood forward, Kante squaring the ball into the box and forcing some hurried defending from Austria.

Nul point for the France medical team, however, as the visor/bandage almost immediately springs off Griezmann’s curly mop and lands on the pitch. He ignores it, less bothered by dripping blood than faulty dressings.
