France Edges Past Austria in Euro 2024 Opener

France began their UEFA EURO 2024 campaign with a narrow victory over Austria, thanks to an own goal by Austrian defender Maximilian Wöber.

The Group D encounter, which ended with a scoreline of 1-0, marked the 100th victory for French manager Didier Deschamps.

Despite the win, concerns were raised as French talisman Kylian Mbappé had to leave the game due to an injury.

The extent of his injury is yet to be determined, casting a shadow over France’s triumphant start.

Austria put up a tenacious fight, showcasing a well-organized defense that made it difficult for the French attackers to find their rhythm.

The match was not without its drama, as both sides had opportunities to change the course of the game.

However, it was France who capitalized on their chances, securing three crucial points in the opening game of their campaign.

As France looks ahead to their next match, they will be hoping for Mbappé’s swift recovery and aiming to build on their winning momentum.

Austria, on the other hand, will seek to regroup and come back stronger in their subsequent fixtures.
