Mbappe&#8217;s low drive towards the near post was tipped out for a corner, highlighting his constant threat. Austria, managed by Ralf Rangnick, struggled to muster any significant attacking opportunities, only posing a threat just before France took the lead.<\/p>\n<p>The breakthrough came two minutes before halftime when an unfortunate flick by Maximilian Wober sent Mbappe\u2019s cross into his own net, giving France a deserved lead. Mbappe continued to be the focal point of France&#8217;s attack, but surprisingly missed a golden opportunity to extend the lead when he curled a one-on-one chance wide after the break.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\">\u26a1\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EURO2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#EURO2024<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AUTFRA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#AUTFRA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KqjaodC0MV\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/KqjaodC0MV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UEFA EURO 2024 (@EURO2024) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EURO2024\/status\/1802803303090364707?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The match took a worrying turn for France when Mbappe was withdrawn late on with a facial injury, a blow to the team&#8217;s attacking prowess.
