Full-time! Austria 0-1 France

Maximilian Wöber's own goal is the difference in Düsseldorf. France had to dig deep against an impressive Austria side. They go top of Group E, level on points with the Netherlands.

A whisker away!

A ball is flashed into the France area, with Arnautovic centimetres away from applying the decisive touch!

Mbappé concerned

Mbappé is off the field with a bloody nose sustained in that challenge with Danso. He'll have to come off...
84'

Meow!

Laimer is booked after almost clawing at the face of Mbappé. Clear booking for the tenacious midfielder, followed by a big block from Danso to stop Mbappé heading Griezmann's free-kick goalwards.

Yellow card

Tame!

Camavinga puts it on a plate for Thuram, but he can only stroke the ball straight at Pentz. Big chance - will it come back to haunt Deschamps' side?

Yellow card

78'

Half chance!

Austria attack with Laimer, who slips a pass into the channel for Baumgartner. He's at full stretch, the Leipzig forward receiving a booking after catching Maignan in the midriff in his attempt to toe the ball goalwards.
72'

Worth a pop!

Thuram again for France, the ex-Gladbach foward bending wide from outside the Austria area.
67'

Pentz with the stop

Big, big save to thwart Thuram after strong play from Kanté.
65'

Not happening

Austria are plugging away, but France look fairly comfortable. Those changes haven't quite had the desired effect just yet.
60'

Triple change

Gernot Trauner comes on to shore up the Austria defence. In attack, Wolfsburg's Patrick Wimmer and former Werder Bremen forward Marko Arnautović replace Hoffenheim's Florian Grillitsch and subdued Freiburg striker Michael Gregoritsch. Positive from Rangnick...
56'

Yellow card

55'

Wide!

Mbappé might not get a better chance to open his Euro 2024 account. A magnificent first touch takes him away from the Austria defence and one-on-one with Pentz. He shapes to steer it in at the near post, but curls his attempt wide of the upright. No one watching can believe he missed!
52'

No way through

Upamecano blocks a cross from the left, allowing France to go on the attack. Thuram leads the charge, but Austria have men back to deal with the impending threat.
48'

Row M

Posch sends a speculative effort into the stand behind Maignan's goal, just as Griezmann prepares to return to the field following a clash of heads.

No changes

A goal behind, can Austria find another gear?

Half-time! Austria 0-1 France

Wöber's own goal has France ahead, but Austria are making a real game of this. Their high press is causing Les Bleus real problems.
Half-time
45'

Chance!

Great chance for France to add to their lead, but Mbappé's first touch lets him down, allowing Pentz to smother in the box. One added minute to go...

One chance for Austria

And what a chance it was - just before France scored at that!

France lead!

Mbappé takes the game by the scruff of the neck with a trademark bit of skill. He breezes past Mwene and stands up a cross that Wöber inadvertently heads into his own net. So harsh on Austria.

OWN GOAL!

Maximilian Wöber

What a save!

Maignan races out to stop Baumgartner sliding Sabitzer's knockdown into the bottom corner. No wonder they used to call him 'Magic Mike' at Lille!
34'

Right idea

Austria with a quick transition up the right. A ball's swung over to Laimer, who tries to cushion it down for Sabitzer on the penalty spot. Maignan just beats him to it!
34'

Yellow peril

Mwene joins Wöber in the book, after hacking down Dembélé.

Yellow card

33'

Half chance!

Laimer gets into the France area, but the angle's tight and his shot is too close to the goalkeeper.
32'

Radar off

Upamecano tries a big switch, Hummels-style, but his raking pass out from the back drifts into touch.
28'

Much improved

Austria appear to have weathered that early storm. Rangnick's team are enjoying a good spell of possession right now...
25'

Austria growing in confidence

Leipzig's Baumgartner drives into the penalty area, but Koundé stays with him and is able to make the challenge.
23'

Momentary respite

Mwene attacks up the left and wins a corner off Dembélé. Sabitzer's cross is gobbled up by Maignan, though.

France's best chance

... but they're bound to get more, the way they're playing.
19'

France danger

Austria concede possession, prompting a quick transition from France. Griezmann tears up the right, but his final ball is lacking. The ensuing corner is flicked on at the near post, with Mwene reacting fastest to hack clear.
17'

Caution

Wöber goes into the book after bringing down former Dortmund forward Dembélé.

Side netting!

France turn defence into attack in a flash. Mbappé races clear and aims low for the near post, but Pentz gets down to push it behind. The Leverkusen keeper claims the resultant corner with real confidence.

Cleared

Former Augsburg defender Griezmann heads away a teasing Griezmann free-kick from the left. France are on the front foot...

Superb atmosphere, with the Austrian fans making a real noise behind Pentz's goal.

Laimer bullish

"We've shown in the past that if we play our game and deliver our maximum potential for a full 90 minutes, then we can do real damage to teams."

RB reunion

Austria coach Ralf Rangnick (pictured) might have an idea or two on how to test the French defensive pair of Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konaté - he signed both of them a few years ago as sporting director of RB Leipzig.

One to watch: Marcel Sabitzer

Austria and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer will be hoping to upset the odds against one of the tournament's favourites. The BVB star ended the season in sublime form for his club who made the Champions League final.

Bayern representation

France, meanwhile, have two Bundesliga talents, Kingsley Coman and Dayot Upamecano, both of Bayern Munich.

A Bundesliga-heavy tie

Given Austria's proximity to Germany it shouldn't come as a surprise that they've got a number of Bundesliga talents, 12 in total, less than only the hosts. Those names are Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich), Marcel Sabitzer (Borussia Dortmund), Maximilian Wöber (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Florian Kainz (Cologne), Michael Gregoritsch, Philipp Lienhart (Freiburg), Florian Grillitsch (Hoffenheim), Philipp Mwene (Mainz), Christoph Baumgartner, Nicolas Seiwald (RB Leipzig), Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen), Patrick Wimmer (Wolfsburg).

Venue: The Düsseldorf Arena

This match will be the Düsseldorf Arena's first of Euro 2024. The stadium hosts over 40,000 fans and is the home of Bundesliga 2 side Fortuna Düsseldorf who narrowly missed out on a top-flight return last month.

Tale of the tape

Austria and France have a long and storied history dating back to 1925 and they've played each other 25 times in total. France have 13 wins to Austria's nine, and have tasted defeat just once in their past 10 meetings. They've only met once in a World Cup or Euros though all the way back in 1934 when Austria won their last 16 tie 3-2 and went all the way to the semi-finals.
