Download Austria vs France 0-1 Highlights | Euro 2024
France kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 win over Austria in Group D as a result of Max Wober’s own goal.
The Leeds United defender nodded past his own goalkeeper when trying to deal with Kylian Mbappe’s cross. Didier Deschamps’ team had chances to extend the advantage but, as with England, one goal proved enough to win it.
Austria came into the game having lost only one of their previous 16 games and appear revitalised under Ralf Rangnick, embracing his pressing style. It served them well for much of the first half and Christoph Baumgartner should have opened the scoring.

But France goalkeeper Mike Maignan denied him from point-blank range and Austria paid the price immediately. Mbappe got to the by-line out on the right and Wober could only turn his cross beyond his own keeper and into the net.
The lead at the interval allowed France to play on the counter-attack in the second half and that brought obvious danger for Austria. Mbappe should have doubled the advantage when he raced clear but could only measure his shot wide.
It was a tense finale because of France’s inability to find that second but Austria could not fashion a clear-cut opening. Rangnick will still fancy their chances of getting out of Group D. France, of course, will have much bigger aspirations.
