HALF-TIME
Seferović heads home Zuber cross to put Switzerland ahead in Bucharest
Antoine Griezmann did not touch the ball inside the Switzerland penalty area once in the first half for France
GOAL! France 1-1 Switzerland (Benzema 57’).
oh Ricardo Rodriguez!
Switzerland miss a penalty to make it 2-0 and within five minutes Karim Benzema scores twice for France
France 2-1 Switzerland
Hugo Lloris has saved his first penalty for France in over eight years (October 2012, vs. Fabregas).
That save could be oh so vital.
Hugo Lloris has now saved 5 penalties since the start of the 18/19 season.
His penalty save for France since 2012 against Spain.
With his two goals against Switzerland, Karim Benzema has just become only the 9th player ever to score 30 goals (he’s already up to 31) for the French national team.
Just minutes after Hugo Lloris saved a penalty, France lead 2:1!
Only three players have scored 4+ goals for France at a single European Championship tournament:
Michel Platini (9, 1984)
Antoine Griezmann (6, 2016)
Karim Benzema (4, 2020)
Back-to-back braces for the Real forward.
Thierry Henry - 51
Olivier Giroud - 46
Michel Platini - 41
Antoine Griezmann - 38
David Trezeguet - 34
Zinedine Zidane - 31
Karim Benzema - 31
Benzema has moved level with Zinedine Zidane on France’s all-time leading goalscorers list.
Elite company.
Kylian Mbappé has recorded his first ever assist at a major tournament for France.
What a time for it.
Paul Pogba is the first French player to score in four consecutive major tournaments without interruption:
2014 World Cup
2016 Euros
2018 World Cup
2020 Euros
Platini would have had the record if they qualified in 1980.
Paul Pogba has just scored his first goal for France since scoring against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup final.
A brilliant strike to end the drought!
France lead 3-1!
Switzerland back in it! 3-2!
4 - Four of Paul Pogba’s last five goals for France have come from outside the box, including each of the last three.
15’ France 0-1 Switzerland
55’ Switzerland missed pen
57’ France 1-1 Switzerland
59’ France 2-1 Switzerland
75’ France 3-1 Switzerland
81’ France 3-2 Switzerland
It’s not going to happen again today, is it?!
