Hibapress

France, which is aiming for a third continental coronation after 1984 and 2000, made a successful start to Euro-2024, beating Austria 1-0 on Monday in Düsseldorf.

The Blues won thanks to an own goal from Austrian defender Maximilian Wöber (38th) after a cross from Kylian Mbappé. They join the Netherlands at the top of Group D, winners of Poland (2-1) the day before and whom they will face on Friday.

The vice-world champions, well helped by their goalkeeper Mike Maignan, imitate the other favorites with successful debuts, whether Italy, England, Germany, Spain or the Netherlands.

While waiting for Portugal, opposed on Tuesday (8:00 p.m.) to the Czech Republic, all the European leaders have respected their rank, with the notable exception of Belgium, third nation in the Fifa ranking.
