France began their Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Austria, courtesy of an own goal by Maximilian Woeber. Despite dominating possession, Les Bleus struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Kylian Mbappe's second-half effort sailing wide. Mbappe was later substituted after a clash of heads left him bleeding from the nose. Austria failed to threaten, and France held on for an unconvincing victory in Duesseldorf. The win gives Didier Deschamps' side a crucial three points in Group A, but they'll need to improve their performance in upcoming matches.
