France 4-1 Australia:

 Olivier Giroud scores a record-breaking goal and Kylian Mbappe helps to defend champions overcome an early scare in World Cup Group D

Goals from Adrien Rabiot, Olivier Giroud (2), and Kylian Mbappe overwrote an early goal from Craig Goodwin in France's 4-1 win over Australia at Al Wakrah. The victory moved the reigning champion, Didier Deschamps, to the top of Group D at the World Cup. 




After a stuttering starts to the game, France showed a dominant edge, beating Australia 4-1 to take the lead in Group D. In midfield, he stands out three quarters, to say the least. Mbappe is phenomenal every time he gets a quick start and Griezmann is an all-rounder who touches hundreds of balls. Giroud, on the other hand, does not regret Benzema's absence and is convincing in his area of ​​penalties. Add about in a graceful state and you have a succession of world favorites.

But let's take a look at it in order and see what happened in the match. Deschamps' band fell apart after a few minutes thanks to a goal from Goodwin, while Rabiot himself served Theo Hernandez. and Giroud's assist, the comeback came thanks to Rabiot's Italian goal. However, at the end of the first half, Australia threatened again with a header from Irvine that hit the post.

The second half starts more slowly than the first half. France takes command and Australia struggles to defend itself until it collapses. Every time Mbappe touched the ball, he was magical, scoring his first goal of the World Cup in the 67th minute when he headed in a beautiful Dembélé cross. Australia is out of the match and France widens with Giroud's brace set by Kilian's cross.

All's Well That Ends Well. Transalpines didn't get off to the best start, falling behind and even risking a 2-0, but recovered well after a bit of a side slip. In addition to a less-than-perfect defense in the first few minutes, Lucas Hernandez was injured and replaced by his younger brother a few minutes later. Australia, on the other hand, will have a tough time against Denmark and Tunisia, who drew 0-0 in their opening match this afternoon.
