France Begin Euro 2024 with Narrow Win over Austria

Mbappe Injured in Bloody Clash

France kicked off their UEFA Euro 2024 campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Austria in Vienna. However, the victory was marred by an injury to star forward Kylian Mbappe, who suffered a broken nose after a clash of heads.

Mbappe was forced to leave the field in the first half after a collision with Austria's Martin Hinteregger. The French forward was seen bleeding heavily from his nose and appeared to be in significant pain. He was replaced by Olivier Giroud.

Despite the absence of Mbappe, France managed to secure the three points thanks to a goal from Antoine Griezmann. The Barcelona forward scored the only goal of the game in the 15th minute, with a fine finish from inside the box.

Conclusion

France's victory over Austria was a hard-earned one, but it will be a bittersweet moment for the French team with Mbappe's injury. The star forward is a key player for France, and his absence will be a major blow to their chances of success in Euro 2024. However, Didier Deschamps' team showed great resilience and determination to overcome Austria, and they will be confident of progressing to the knockout stages.
