France beat Austria 2-0, at home, and push the opponent to the position of relegation to League B; goals were scored by Mbappe and Giroud
THE France won the Austria in play valid for the penultimate round of the Nations League group stage. The team needed the victory to avoid relegation to Liga B this Thursday, 22, and achieved it with goals from Mbappe and Giroud and all the result built in the second half.
The game started with full pressure from the French. Within a minute of the game, Mbappe was already on the net, but he was offside and delayed the opening of the score for a bit. After that, the pressure lasted a little longer until Austria managed to equalize and create some chances, but without much scare for the opposing goal.
Despite the need for victory and the search for the goal as soon as possible, the French National Team did not have many bids that forced the Austrian goalkeeper to work. But when he needed it, he grew up on top of Griezmann after a header on the beam and prevented them from opening an advantage in the first half.
With 0-0 at the end of the first half, new and greater pressure from the home team was to be expected. At six, the first chance in a good move by Mbappe and Griezmann, but wrong submission by Clauss. But in the sequence, with 10 minutes, shirt 10 made a beautiful individual move, went through three markers and moved the goalkeeper to get the goal that was so necessary.
After opening the gate, another one came out. Griezmann found Giroud in the area and gave the striker a beautiful cross to go higher than anyone else and increase the score. With that, France reaches five points and pushes Austria to the bottom, which is the position that leads to relegation. Still, the risk and the need to win in the last round remains.
