France 4-1 Australia MATCH RESULT – SUMMARY – Breaking News



The defending champion France, who took the field in the 2022 World Cup, defeated Australia 4-1 in their first match in Group D.


On the evening of the day Argentina lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia, Australia did not keep the football fans waiting long, who would not object to more surprises. The elegant design of Al Jonoub Stadium, bearing the signature of the world-famous British architect Zaha Hadid, was adapted by both teams with their beautiful play. Goodwin, who made good use of the right wing corridor in the 9th minute and hit the ball with the same elegance, started the first World Cup match of his career by leaving the goalkeeper Lloris helpless: 1-0.


After N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Presnel Kimpembe and Christopher Nkunku, and Karim Benzema’s injury, Lucas Hernandez, who was injured in the goal position, was added to the list of coach Didier Deschamps, who had a bitter smile on his face. Hernandez, who could not continue the game, left his place to Theo in the 13th minute.


Quickly recovering from the shock of the early goal, France regained the balance in the score with Rabiot’s head shot, which the newly entered Theo Hernandez averaged 27th. France, who came from the left wing 5 minutes later with Rabiot, paid off the pressure with Giroud’s stylish touch in the middle of this football player: 2-1. 36-year-old Giroud surpassed Zidane to become the oldest player to score for France in the World Cup, increasing the number of goals for the national team to 50.


After Kylian Mbappe’s generously spent position by sending the ball auta in the facing position, the first half ended with France’s 2-1 superiority when Australia’s Irvine returned from the leather round side post in the header.


France, which destroyed the game in the second half, came very close to the goal with Giroud’s half-volley attempt in the 50th minute. While entering the last half-hour period, Mbappe, who constantly searched the goal but could not get a result, sent the ball into the nets with a head shot, which Dembele centered from the right in the 68th minute: 3-1.


After Benzema’s injury, Giroud justified the coach Deschamps, who said “We will not call players to the team, we have enough strikers” and sent the ball into the nets with a head shot, which Mbappe centered in the penalty area from the left in the 71st minute: 4-1.


Reaching 51 goals in the France National Team, Giroud shared Thierry Henry’s record for the player who scored the most goals for the national team.


Aziz Behich, a Turkish-born player in Australia, stayed on the field for 90 minutes against France.
