THE BIGGER PICTURE: The goal came as a shock to Didier Deschamps’ team, who were favourites heading into their first game of Group D. Fortunately, they recovered to equalise just before the half-hour mark through Adrien Rabiot.
WHAT NEXT FOR FRANCE AND AUSTRALIA? The Socceroos will hope to regain their lead against Les Bleus and head into their clash with Tunisia with a strong start. After Tuesday’s game, France will take on Denmark in their second match.
