Opening win for Dayot Upamecano & Kingsley Coman with France against Konrad Laimer's Austria
The first FC Bayern internal clash of the European Championship was played out between Dayot Upamecano and Kingsley Coman! The German record champions' two France internationals celebrated a hard-fought but ultimately deserved 1-0 (1-0) win over Konrad Laimer and his Austrian teammates on Monday evening. Whilst Upamecano and Laimer both started the game, Coman was un unused sub.
All-rounder Konrad Laimer started on the right wing for Austria. He was substituted in stoppage time.
Game decided by an own goal
Austria started the game boldly against one of the European Championship favourites, creating some good chances of their own - and then went behind just before the break due to an unfortunate own goal: On 38 minutes, Maximilian Weber's attempt to clear a Kylian Mbappé cross ended up in the back of his own net. The game remained open in the second half, as the French failed to add a second goal despite good opportunities. Ultimately, however, Les Bleus held on for the opening win.
Dayot Upamecano played the entire 90 minutes for the French side, while Bayern teammate Kingsley Coman watched from the bench.
The win put Didier Dechamps' side into first place in Group C, level on points with the Netherlands. Austria's next task is a clash this Friday with Poland, who are also yet to record a point, (18:00 CEST), before the Équipe Tricolore take on the Elftal at 21:00 CEST.
