Mbappe fires France ahead as Austria lead Netherlands, England tonight

France 0-0 Poland HALF-TIME

The whistle goes and France’s struggles continue – Les Blues haven’t scored with any of their 37 shots so far at EURO 2024.

Ukraine in 2016 are the only side on record to have more attempts without scoring from any of them in a single edition of the tournament.

And we were all worried about England’s attack…

France 0-0 Poland

Kylian Mbappe denied!!

France are turning up the heat as we head into the break as their captain gets another chance to try his luck inside the box.

It’s a lovely exchange with Bradley Barcola as the teenager releases his former Paris Saint-Germain teammate with a deft back heel.

Mbappe stands up Lukasz Skorupski from a tight angle before trying to guide his finish underneath him only to see it blocked.

France 0-0 Poland

So close to goals in both games!

William Saliba has a rare chance to shoot from a corner but hooks his effort over the bar.

Kylian Mbappe then races through a crowded penalty box before attempting to lift it over Lukasz Skorupski from a tight angle, but the Polish keeper gets enough on it to see it out for a corner.

Dayot Upamecano heads over from the resulting delivery before Adrien Rabiot is shown a yellow card for a late challenge.

The Netherlands meanwhile will consider themselves unlucky not to be level with Austria now.

Donyell Malen sees his effort blocked by Patrick Pentz before Memphis Depay heads a follow-up effort beyond him only to see it cleared off the line.

Netherlands 0-1 Austria

WHAT A CHANCE FOR A SECOND!

Marko Arnautovic has a glorious opportunity to double his country’s lead after Bart Verbruggen can only parry Marcel Sabitzer’s low strike.

However, his finish lacks conviction and he poorly prods the bouncing ball against Verbruggen who then scrambles it away.

Netherlands 0-1 Austria

Now here’s that first-half substitution for Ronald Koeman – he’s seen enough out of his side so far!

Donyell Malen survives as it’s Joey Veerman who makes the unfortunate exit to allow Xavi Simons to join the action.

A scheduled drinks break follows and a chance for Koeman to drill his message through to his players!

France 0-0 Poland

WHAT A CHANCE FOR ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI!

Piotr Zielinski is afforded the time and space to swing in his cross and it falls to the exact man Poland would have wanted.

Lewandowski – unmarked just beyond the six-yard area – gets his head on the delivery but guides an effort into the ground and it bounces wide.

HUGE opportunity!
