France recorded an important if an unconvincing 2-1 win over Australia in their opening Group C match in Kazan on Saturday. After a somewhat drab first half, it all came to life after the break with all three goals coming in the second half. Antoine Griezmann converted the very first penalty awarded by Video Assistant Referee (VaR) at a World Cup, but minutes later Austrlia were level with a spot kick of their own. Just when it looked the match was heading for a draw Paul Pogba popped up with a winner for Les Blues.
