France wins thanks to a brace from Giroud.

After only 9 minutes, Goodwin slammed in a simple cross to give Australia an unexpected lead. France was compelled to respond, and their actions were evident because Rabiot's goal put them right back in the game. After simply tapping in off the cross five minutes later, Giroud completed the comeback.

A Mbappe header and a goal by Giroud followed by another French goal in the second half highlighted the nation's continued dominance. This was adequate to give "Les Bleus" the breathing room they required and enable them to hold on for their first World Cup 2022 victory.

As a result, France, the defending group D champions, are in first place and will play Denmark right after. As for Australia, they maintain last place in the group and must win against Tunisia to keep their hopes alive.

Nine minutes into the game, Australia unexpectedly took the lead at Al Janoub Stadium thanks to a goal by Craig Goodwin.
