Ironically, Austria are the only team the 2022 World Cup runners-up have managed to beat so far at the competition, as they followed their 1-0 victory over Ralf Rangnick's men with a 0-0 draw against the Netherlands and then an insufficient display in being held by the group's bottom side.There are consequences for that, as Les Bleus now find themselves in what looks to be the wrong half of a lop-sided draw in the knockout rounds.
Mbappe returned against Poland after missing the Netherlands match due to his broken nose. Playing with a protective face mask, he converted a second-half penalty for his first ever goal at a Euros.It was his 13th goal for France at a major tournament, putting him level with Just Fontaine who scored all of his at the 1958 World Cup, and behind only the 14 of Michel Platini.
However, they have failed to score a single goal themselves in open play so far at this tournament, beating Austria thanks to an own goal and drawing a blank against the Dutch before Mbappe's penalty against Poland. Above all, France can go forward into the knockout rounds in the knowledge that their defence looks secure, with Lewandowski's penalty the only goal they have conceded so far.
“Some groups might not have been too difficult, but our group really was. Now we can have a little break which will do us good, and then we move on to the last 16.
