Match Info

France kicked off their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Australia at Al Janoub Stadium on November 23rd. The reigning champions recovered from an early scare to produce a dominant second-half display, securing a vital three points in Group D. Australia stunned the French by taking a ninth-minute lead through Craig Goodwin, but France responded before halftime with an Adrien Rabiot header. Olivier Giroud then scored twice in the second half, either side of a Kylian Mbappé header, to complete the turnaround. Giroud's brace drew him level with Thierry Henry as France's all-time leading scorer, a key narrative from the match. The result immediately put France in a strong position to qualify from the group, while Australia faced an uphill battle after the heavy defeat. Didier Deschamps praised his team's reaction, while Australian coach Graham Arnold acknowledged the gulf in class after the early goal.
