Well, this is one competition that does not believe in meaningless. Every game, an indication, an acid test to see where the teams really are with their hopes and ambitions. Colors vivid and vibrant, songs loud and proud, the tone for this game is well and truly set. And that gets things running. So a clash of nations with so much pride on the line. And it's been played through. And here's Dembele, Cherokee, now it's Aklouche. And he's it goes for a shot! Oh, it rattles the bar! Go, France! And there is your opener! Not so much sophistication as doggedness and sheer bloody-mindedness. That's really good anticipation too, Peter, just instinctively knew where the ball would be and where he needed to put himself. So we have had the first significant moment, it is 1-0. Dembele making good progress on the right-hand side. Well, at least they acknowledge the effort. Ops for safety. No, it's Dembele, locks it out wide. So just the one early goal to report so far, 1-0 the score. Aimed beyond the defence. It's at Kliush! Big chance! It's hit the crossbar! Quarter of an hour played. While facing up to his adversary, this is a formidable matchup. Cherokee, going face to face with this great rival. The defense just about came out on top, but they were certainly tested. Aklouche will not want to lose out. He's having a shot! No way through, so back a chance! He's keen. Determined to have his say they're just unrelenting Peter wave after wave of attacks now it's just a matter of making at least one of them count tries to get it clear It's a throw in and Bapé cross goes in there. And he gets rid in a hurry. He's on it, can he get away? Ubape. That's an imaginative pass. That has earned a reprieve for the time being. That's a sharp pass. And it's made its way. Cherki does have his name on the score sheet, of course. Now, can they get him away? And he was quick to react. Oh, easy picking's there. Oh, this looks sharp. Challenge just a bit on the firm side. Aklush. Tries to pass it through. Cherokee! Tremé does really well to win the ball back. And it's Achlouche. Skillfully cut out, he is so at ease on the ball. France can certainly afford to see this half out now and reset during the break. It's a pretty loose pass, deftly away. Threads won in. knocks it into space. You can run onto that. Been there, done that, unfortunately. You immediately want to have another go. Believe me on that. Oh, that's well spotted. Good looking ball. This is Tempelle. Opportunist strike, but he'll take it, he will own it. Keeper might have been a little on sight, and he seemed awfully late and reacting to that. France are sitting pretty, 2-0 up. You can really sense how important this goal was for them. They needed it, now they have it. That is good pressure, just hounded him off it. It's a promising position. Now the ball in, cleared away. Gimbelle. And the whistle goes for halftime. Well, the second goal certainly came as a welcome surprise, Peter, so late and so potentially destructive. That certainly seems to be the case. Well, both halftime team talks will undergo go change now. One will be solid. The other needs to be pretty inspiring. France, looking good, he's in one-on-one. That is great defending, so alert. That's a risky ball, you've got to say, and now they can clear their lines. He's had a fair tumble under that challenge. Luther Macano, Conte. and it's Churmaini, and here's Dembele, played into space. That has been not clear. Corner number two then. And it's hoisted clear. Iraq have the chance to go the other way. And here's Mbapapé. He's going to go! Keel Anbape! You just cannot stop him! A finish right from the top draw! It's all becoming so, so easy! Perfect placement, the one place the keeper couldn't reach. He had the whole picture in his head, Peter. He didn't even look at the goalkeeper. 3-0 and things are starting to look awfully cozy. Truthfully, it was hard to see any better outcome there. Well, they've stamped some authority on things, but how much more authority can be generated. That's a good ball out wide. Mbapap, Achluche, being hounded, man-handled at times. Yeah, better communication and lots of cuts. Surely he can't shut a goal! Lacking inaccuracy! I thought it was a really good, great, no shortage of taste nor intensity, exactly what's required when on the counter-attack. There's the clearance. Dembele wins the jewel this time. That ball looks a good one. Might be shoots! And with the goal at his mercy, a dreadful miss. Yeah, I think I'd feel that way, too. Not that I thrived in one-on-one situations. That is being shifted off it. Thomas somewhat off target. Looking to play him in. Now there's a five. Decent chance! Oh, it's fallen loose again. Relentless, just relentless. And he's only too grateful to capitalize on the keeper's misfortune. Well, you might think I'm doing a bit harsh, Peter, but I just can't help the feeling that the keeper should have done a better job. Full stop. France, ah, having a ball here. It's Dembele. He's shifting through the gears here. Cherokee, Achlyush. Oh, now here's an interesting matchup. That's a little off target. This looks promising. DeBalé! And that's past the post. I can't quite believe he's missed that, Peter. Iraq. making further changes here and in quick succession that'll be a throw-in and that is put pay to that dumbelli Pitches it off him. Played out towards the right wing. Oh, well played, well sorted out. And it's lofted through here. All the time, excellent interception. wrong with that tackle, ball won cleanly. Saliba, promptly onto that, and that is that. He has a look up, he's got away, crosses it in, nice and easy for the goalkeeper. Oh, that's a key interception. While the runner's been sold a little bit short there. France clearly didn't help themselves by telegraphing that one. It was always going to be intercepted. A beautifully policed at midfield. The opposition have been handcuffed. That's a good ball. Great vision. You can never be short of runners in the space, as long as the space left behind is Phil. And he shoots! No, that's just why. No unnecessary risks and the game is petering out here. That's at the end. This is a side which is purring. Picture perfect.
