Match Report
Aiming to reach their fourth final in the last five major tournaments, France found Austria to be tenacious rivals from the start. Even so, slick interplay down the left presented them with the first chance of the game on eight minutes, Kylian Mbappé sent free by Adrien Rabiot and forcing goalkeeper Patrick Pentz to save low at his near post.
Shortly after, a Theo Hernández delivery close to the byline flew invitingly across goal, but Austria’s renowned intensity allowed them to limit the flow to France’s danger men. Ralf Rangnick’s men were energetic and quick into challenges, and they almost took the lead themselves when Marcel Sabitzer flicked Michael Gregoritsch’s cross down to Christoph Baumgartner, who could not slip his shot past the onrushing Mike Maignan.
Instead, it was France who struck first moments later, Mbappé’s quick feet earning him space down the right for a cross which the unfortunate Maximilian Wöber headed into his own net. The France captain – who left the game late on with a nose injury – then spurned a fine opportunity to double the advantage in the second half, curling wide after beating Wöber to a ball over the top.
That was the cue for Austria to press their case, albeit while leaving spaces which France’s forwards threatened to exploit, Antoine Griezmann just failing to slide in from a cross and Thuram having an effort saved. In the end, their solitary goal, and solidity further back, proved enough to take the points.
