Attractive in the first half, the French team conceded a penalty at the start of the second half, following a foul by Théo Hernandez on Bobb.

Strand Larsen stepped forward to take the penalty, in Haaland’s absence. He shot to the left of Maignan, who deployed himself perfectly to deflect the attempt. Enough to restore confidence to the French goalkeeper after an average start to the World Cup.
