[00:00:02]for Manchester. I'm Guy Moberry and alongside me for commentary is Sue Smith and everything is set up nicely to give us a really good match. It's France facing Argentina.

[00:00:13]>> I think it's so important that both teams start on the front foot, take the game to the opposition and an early goal would certainly settle any nerves.

[00:00:23]>> And number 10, Kian Mbappé.

[00:00:38]>> [cheering] [music] [music] >> This is the France starting 11. Mike Manan is in goal. William Saliba plays alongside Deo Upano as the center backs.

[00:01:22]Adrienne Rabio plays alongside Orurelian Shumeni in midfield. And the main man up front is Kian Mbappé.

[00:01:59]Thank you for attending Old Trafford.

[00:02:01]Enjoy the match.

[00:02:02]>> This is the Argentina team. Emiliano Martinez is the goalkeeper. Christian Romero plays alongside Landro Martinez as the center backs. And up front, Laro Martinez plays alongside Lionol Messi.

[00:02:27]The ball's rolling and we're underway.

[00:02:40]Oh, against the post.

[00:02:44]>> Having a try. Oh, got in the way of it.

[00:02:48]>> Oh, the manager will be delighted with that sort of commitment, won't he?

[00:02:55]>> Moving forward. Well, Martinez in the box. Got there first to react but has headed it wide.

[00:03:32]William Saliba, [cheering] Mbappé.

[00:04:32]Adrienne Rabio, Kian Mbappé.

[00:04:39]Could be a chance. He's glanced at the pitch there, but only himself to blame really for a blaze that's missed.

[00:04:58]The attack broken up.

[00:05:00]>> Oh, they stopped that really well, didn't they? Really well organized off the ball there.

[00:05:09]>> Good patient buildup, but not quite the end product.

[00:05:16]Christian Romero, Fernandez.

[00:05:21]Carry on says the ref.

[00:05:24]>> Messi teing up the chance now.

[00:05:30]>> And it's opened up. And not a lot of respect for fair play there. The ref will surely take action.

[00:05:40]>> And that's an early marker laid down.

[00:05:42]Yeah, she's stamping her authority early on, isn't she?

[00:06:00][cheering] Oh, great save. Goalkeeping of the highest quality.

[00:06:36]play into the box under a little bit of pressure. He's managed to put it wide.

[00:06:41]>> Well, he just can't get away from his marker for a clean header. That's top defending.

[00:06:58]>> [cheering] >> OS onto Kundai.

[00:07:16]Oh, maybe a bit of space now.

[00:07:21]Now it needs a good ball in. Worth a go.

[00:07:25]A heroic stop.

[00:07:32]Martinez Ois.

[00:07:44]Good work to regain possession.

[00:07:48]Now there could be a break on.

[00:07:51]This could be the lead.

[00:07:54]How did they fail to score? That's one to ponder for a while.

[00:07:58]>> Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't make the most of that.

[00:08:22]Aurelian Shueraini Williams Saliba Hernandez.

[00:08:38]Options available in the middle.

[00:08:42]Oh, could be here. Oh, that's brilliant.

[00:08:45]Super sharp reactions.

[00:09:01]And the ball comes in.

[00:09:06]There it comes to an end.

[00:09:14]It's all getting a bit scrappy in the middle right now.

[00:09:17]>> Yeah, there's not much space. They just can't keep it. They just need to be more precise in their passing.

[00:09:27]>> Drifting into a useful position here.

[00:09:30]Little work to do yet.

[00:09:32]The defense quick to snatch it back.

[00:09:39]Out. It goes all the way out for a throw.

[00:09:43]Kian Mbappé has pace, he has power, he has every attribute a striker needs.

[00:09:49]What are we expecting to see from him today?

[00:09:51]>> Well, he's a unique talent, isn't he?

[00:09:53]The way he can beat defenders, he can dictate the tempo of the game. Suddenly, when he gets on the ball, fans get off the seats. Such an exciting, entertaining player. I can't wait to watch him today.

[00:10:14]Now there could be something on in a moment.

[00:10:19]Messi. Oh, what a save. Razor sharp reactions.

[00:10:48]>> [cheering] >> And the corner is fired in. It's away, but not far enough.

[00:10:57]That's a good pass.

[00:11:04]breaking at pace. This could be dangerous and they need to be better on the ball than that.

[00:11:12]A lovely incisive ball and met by solid goalkeeping.

[00:11:42]It's been delivered.

[00:11:51]Martinez, Armada onto Rabio.

[00:12:05]played in with that good patient buildup but not quite the end product. This is what they've been looking for the counter attack.

[00:12:21]Fernandez.

[00:12:26]What a stop. Razor shot. Oh, >> talk about reactions. How good were his then? It's such close range. That's a brilliant save.

[00:12:45]And here it comes.

[00:12:48]And the ref says that's a foul and that's a penalty.

[00:13:14]This for one n sport. The penalty officially put away.

[00:13:30]Well, if you watch this again, you've got to feel sorry for the goalkeeper.

[00:13:34]He's gone the right way, showed great agility to get across, but the ball just goes underneath. It's such a shame for him.

[00:13:50]>> Go for the >> So, France get us moving again. Can they find a response?

[00:13:56]Hernandez onto Rabio.

[00:14:03]Oh, brilliant anticipation.

[00:14:08]Rodrigo Deporting to get creative from here.

[00:14:15]Upon himself to drive forward further.

[00:14:18]Horid clearance. Still plenty of threat.

[00:14:21]And the goalkeeper gathers the ball in easily.

[00:14:26]Hernandez onto Rabio could take things forward a notch here.

[00:14:41]Mbappé off the crossbar and the forward progress continues.

[00:14:48]Surely the equalizer and it's there to equalize. Settle in for the rest of this. A great game already.

[00:14:59]Well, here it is again. And he shows his quality to beat his man, find a yard of space and then his finish. It's quality that goals.

[00:15:13]>> And the game restarts with the score one alli.

[00:15:17]Rodrigo Depal.

[00:15:20]Martinez onto Depal.

[00:15:25]Medina.

[00:15:28]Romero.

[00:15:31]Enzo Fernandez.

[00:15:37]Bakundo Medina.

[00:15:40]Christian Romero.

[00:15:45]The ball back with Martinez.

[00:15:48]On he goes. Terrific.

[00:15:54]Waiting, not trying to force things.

[00:15:58]Back off the bar.

[00:16:02]>> Oh, that wasn't far away, was it? They do well to create the chance. They just couldn't quite finish it off there.

[00:16:09]>> Might they be left to ru that not going in?

[00:16:14]taken without any trouble.

[00:16:26]Lovely setup.

[00:16:28]Oh, look at this.

[00:16:31]>> Oh, fantastic save.

[00:16:32]>> Well, showing his class there. He closes the angle down, makes himself big. It's a really good stop.

[00:16:41]>> Looking to cut in now.

[00:16:45]Oh, they were getting interested there, but not anymore. And a chance for the break here.

[00:16:56]Michael Oise.

[00:16:59]Really nicely played. What can they do with this now?

[00:17:04]Now, can he get the cross in? This might be promising.

[00:17:10]Oh, it's been missed. It looked a good opportunity that Romero Kundai Aurelian Shuaini France pushing forward with options available.

[00:17:41]Mbappé. Oh, chances don't come much better. They really should be taken.

[00:17:46]>> They sure do. When you're through one v one, you've got to find the back of the net. He could have just placed it.

[00:17:55]>> Lionol Messi.

[00:17:59]>> Oh, could be here.

[00:18:04]>> Messi. And that is some stop.

[00:18:07]>> Yeah, he needed to be really sharp there, didn't he? especially from that range.

[00:18:16]They take the lead. They shall not pass.

[00:18:20]And they go again with another corner.

[00:18:23]That's solid goalkeeping. Did really well to hold it.

[00:18:32]France being afforded too much space here. Hernandez puts the ball in.

[00:18:38]Oh, a brilliant save. Superbly kept out.

[00:18:45]Finds himself with space now.

[00:18:49]Does anybody want to make a challenge here?

[00:18:53]Well, given the position he found himself in, he really should be testing the keeper. Fantastic opportunity squandered.

[00:19:06]Opao Orurelian Shueraini.

[00:19:11]France exploiting the space on the flank and a different angle for him now.

[00:19:18]Still trying to find the space and the shot thwarted.

[00:19:23]Corner for France now. Good possibility for them to go ahead. They decide against playing it in. And that is going to be keeper ballista.

[00:19:39]Almardada and Molina with patient buildup looking to fashion a chance. Yeah, you can see they're just trying to draw them out. The back line just needs to hold firm.

[00:19:57]What a chance here.

[00:20:01]And he's with the bar and the danger is cleared.

[00:20:09]Teo Hernandez.

[00:20:13]They've come away with the ball.

[00:20:17]>> Well, they were so close to taking the lead there. They just have to keep creating these opportunities and surely the goal will come.

[00:20:27]Enzo Fernandez. This is what they've been looking for, the counterattack.

[00:20:37]Alexis McAllister.

[00:20:41]Ball one. Well read, Juel Kundai.

[00:20:51]Oh, could be a chance here.

[00:20:58]Having a go. That looked as though it might have been slotted in, but it's been placed wide.

[00:21:15]Now it needs a good ball in.

[00:21:26]Laro Martinez. The counter looks on here. Options available. Well, it was a chance, but it's gone now.

[00:21:38]That's not a bad looking ball.

[00:21:42]Delivered into the middle. Well, it did look good, but so did the goalkeeper in claiming it. Rodrigo Deport, Fernandez, now Taro Martinez making decent progress here.

[00:22:08]Struggling to keep it here.

[00:22:13]keeping the ball but being kept at bay with the sides level.

[00:22:18]And here we go. Time for the transition.

[00:22:23]No need for a stoppage here. Promising looking ball.

[00:22:30]And the whistle goes. Free kick awarded.

[00:22:34]>> And that will be a delayed yellow.

[00:22:36]>> Yeah, it's good referee in that.

[00:22:41]Stop.

[00:23:01]Rodrigo Deport.

[00:23:04]Martinez.

[00:23:11]>> [cheering] >> William Saliva Rabio a chance to get in behind here.

[00:23:25]Onto it in on goal. Forward still in that. It's in now. And you can see immediately from the goalkeeper's reaction, he knows he had to do better than that.

[00:23:38]If you watch it again here, it's just not good enough from the goalkeeper.

[00:23:42]He's got to try and push that away from the danger zone. If you do that at this level, you're bound to get punished.

[00:23:50]>> So that makes it 2-1 and away we go again.

[00:23:55]Molina onto Depal.

[00:24:00]Martinez, Lionol Messi, Molina, Thiago Almarda, and over the touch line it goes. It'll be a throw in now.

[00:24:23]And they might be in. Is this the equalizer? It's saved. Magnificent from the keeper. Oh, >> that is a great save. It's so close to him. His reactions are quick and that's really good goalkeeping.

[00:24:47]It's put into the middle. It's only halfway clear.

[00:24:57]edging ever closer to goal here.

[00:25:02]Fernandez defecting for a notch. Oh, they've lost it. The attack is over.

[00:25:16]Kundai now.

[00:25:20]That's a good pass.

[00:25:27]Chance to deliver into the box.

[00:25:34]The attack broken up.

[00:25:40]Romero.

[00:25:47]Beautifully weighted ball.

[00:25:51]Dembele into the middle and it needed a much lighter touch than that.

[00:25:57]Able to skip past there. Opportunity here. Not done yet.

[00:26:06]No way through. Possession lost.

[00:26:17]Nearly Halime then. And it's France who just have their noses in front.

[00:26:21]>> Well, they've been able to dictate the play for large parts of this half and some really good combination play in that final third. They do have to be careful though not to switch off defensively.

[00:26:35]Played in with that.

[00:26:40][cheering] There's something on here. A chance to attack. Well, it was a real chance, but it's gone now. Oh, I should have done better there really.

[00:26:50]Rodrigo Deport. The attack is over.

[00:26:58]Dembele drifting on and still going. He goes and on and on. Oh, chance. AND THE TACKLE SPOT ON. And that has been a judge to be offside.

[00:27:19]>> [cheering] >> Fakundo Medina, Martinez, Fernandez.

[00:27:47]And the attack halted in its tracks. And she does produce the yellow.

[00:27:52]>> Yeah, it wasn't a good challenge, was it?

[00:28:05][screaming] and the defense ready for what was coming.

[00:28:29]Excellent reading of the game to win the ball.

[00:28:34]>> Decent looking attack this onto Rabio and maybe not the best idea to go for the blast. Accuracy sacrifice for power.

[00:29:25]And it's on here.

[00:29:30]And there it is. He's doubled up for the day.

[00:29:43]Here it is again. And the keeper does well initially to anticipate where the shot's going. He gets a touch on it, just not enough to keep it out.

[00:30:10]and that brings to an end the first half here at Old Trafford.

[00:30:17]>> Kian Mbappé is asking plenty of questions of that defense. He's certainly been difficult to contain.

[00:30:23]>> Yeah, he's looked really sharp out there, hasn't he? certainly took his goal well and would have had another if not for the woodwork. He's obviously been the difference between the two sides so far and the second half is underway.

[00:30:54]the chance. And that wasn't bad, but it had to be better.

[00:30:57]>> Yeah, it did. It's not a bad effort, though. You just feel if they get one, they'll get themselves back into this game. [cheering] >> [cheering] >> Oise.

[00:31:25]It could be something building for France here. Oh, they were getting interested there, but not anymore.

[00:31:37]Good strength on show to keep the ball.

[00:31:42]Adrienne Rabio.

[00:31:45]Well, here we go. Time for the transition.

[00:31:50]They need to get back here.

[00:31:55]Martinez is ready. Can he finish? OH, THAT has flown into the net. What a strike. A superb volley.

[00:32:16]Well, what a finish that is. He connects so sweetly. The keeper can only watch it go past. It's a brilliant goal.

[00:32:40]So off we go. 3-2 the score now.

[00:32:45]Juel Kundai in the right position to cut out the pass.

[00:32:58]Strong work there to keep it. Just needs the composure now. Oh, wonderful stop.

[00:33:05]>> Yeah, he didn't have long to react, did he? His reflexes are absolutely outstanding.

[00:33:13][cheering] And they go short with the corner.

[00:33:24]That's where it ends.

[00:33:30]Martinez.

[00:33:31]This is what they've been looking for, the counterattack.

[00:33:39]They've lost it there and the attack is over.

[00:33:42]>> Yeah, did well to stop the danger.

[00:33:45]>> No need to stop the play. On they go.

[00:33:50]Juel Kunda working hard to win it back there.

[00:34:05]moving nicely and real purpose to this.

[00:34:11]And that's a shame for them. Nothing doing.

[00:34:17]And this could be the moment for a counter.

[00:34:25]This could be dangerous.

[00:34:28]And that's safe and secure goalkeeping.

[00:34:34]Romero now with Mallister.

[00:34:42]Good ball. Decent looking attack this level. Good hands from the keeper.

[00:34:52]>> As we thought, she's giving out a booking.

[00:34:54]>> Yeah, it's a good call to go back and book him.

[00:35:05]And Argentina are making a change here.

[00:35:14][cheering] Into the box it goes. Oh, fantastic effort. Made great contact, but the keeper more than equal to it.

[00:35:37]The ball sent safely away.

[00:35:42]Well, not a million miles away.

[00:35:44]>> No, it was close. Decent effort that.

[00:35:47]Just need to keep plugging away and surely the goal will come.

[00:36:13]It's there and it's a goal that's a real settler for them. Two in front now.

[00:36:21]Well, we can see it here again.

[00:36:22]Sometimes you just have to go route one.

[00:36:24]They react the quickest and it's a good finish in the end.

[00:36:38]So the score now 4-2 as the ball gets rolling again.

[00:36:44]Alexis Mallister now Molina.

[00:36:49]Well, he's lost the ball and any chance has gone.

[00:36:56]France being afforded too much space here now. Can someone attack this? Oh, that has flown into the net. What a strike. A superb volley.

[00:37:33]So it's 5-2 now as the game restarts >> Molina Enzo Fernandez.

[00:37:50]That's a good ball.

[00:37:55]Rabio.

[00:37:58]Oh, real opportunity. And it's not clear yet.

[00:38:02]>> Nobody else was getting that once the keeper's mind was made up.

[00:38:13]Martinez, Alexis, Mallister, Kundai, Upano.

[00:38:34]Good work. They've got it back.

[00:38:40]Now this has to be and that is a terrific stop. Oh, his positioning is spot on. Really makes it difficult for the attacker. Stops an almost certain goal there.

[00:38:54]>> They won't be going any further.

[00:39:00]>> Teo Hernandez.

[00:39:03]This could be threatening.

[00:39:08]Danger cleared, but the goalkeeper might want a word after that.

[00:39:20]So, we move past the hour mark.

[00:39:25]Enzo Fernandez.

[00:39:27]Martinez. No, he's in. I'm afraid that's gone badly wrong. hit hard but hit well well wide.

[00:39:36]Now here comes a change.

[00:39:57]>> Strong work there to keep it.

[00:39:59]>> Uses his body well there, doesn't he?

[00:40:04]ball. This could lead to something in the final third there.

[00:40:17]This is from Jim J celebrating her birthday.

[00:40:27]Martinez waiting for that.

[00:40:32]It stops there. Nothing at the end of it.

[00:40:42]Good save from the keeper.

[00:40:47]Aelian Shuaini.

[00:40:51]Juel Kundai.

[00:40:53]This is a substitution for France.

[00:41:09]That's the perfect way to protect the ball.

[00:41:13]Martinez Alvarez.

[00:41:19]And the forward progress continues.

[00:41:25]Decent move looked to be building, but that's it for now.

[00:41:44]Out of play it goes for a throw in.

[00:41:55]Christian Romero >> under a fair bit of pressure here.

[00:42:03]Alvarez and onto Mallister.

[00:42:11]No way through. Possession lost.

[00:42:15]Usman Dembele. And the referee signals advantage. And there's a chance for the break here. And that ultimately has come to nothing.

[00:42:28]>> Really nicely played. What can they do with this now?

[00:42:32]Martinez. The ball is lost and the chance has gone too.

[00:42:39]France showing good width here.

[00:42:44]Oh, chance. [cheering] Oh, off the post. Denied defending of the highest caliber.

[00:42:50]>> I'm actually not sure how that didn't go in.

[00:42:55]Rodrigo Deport.

[00:43:01]That was a really poor challenge and the referee shows the yellow card.

[00:43:06]>> Well, it's a bit of a naughty challenge.

[00:43:08]Had to go in the book.

[00:43:16]>> Substitution coming up.

[00:43:35]Alvarez.

[00:43:38]They might be in.

[00:43:42]Taking a chance. A vital block. They could get caught out on the break here.

[00:43:55]played in with that. Oh, great block, Alvarez.

[00:44:09]And the attack collapses.

[00:44:14]Well, that's going to be a free kick.

[00:44:38]Christian Romero.

[00:44:41]So, 20 minutes left of this game.

[00:44:46]Fearless block, OS. Well, here we go. Time for the transition.

[00:44:56]That's a good tackle and a throw in to come >> and it's pinched read his mind there.

[00:45:10]Fernandez.

[00:45:12]What a place to lose the ball just when the chance was on.

[00:45:19]Promising looking ball.

[00:45:24]Brilliant stop to deny a breakaway goal.

[00:45:27]>> Yeah, made all the right decisions, but quality goalkeeping.

[00:45:33][cheering] >> He's certainly made his mark on the game. And now time for someone else to have a go.

[00:46:00]into the box it goes. And a nervy clearance. Still pressure. Oh, it's a penalty.

[00:46:34]and they have paid the penalty. It's been dispatched.

[00:46:49]>> Well, you can see it here again. This is a good penalty. Straight down the middle. The goalkeeper's committed and all that he can do is just watch it sail in. Cool as you like.

[00:47:08]Goal for the host number 19 Theo Hernandez.

[00:47:14]>> Medina. [cheering] struggling to keep the ball there. And out of play it goes for a throw in Martinez and onto McAllister, Julian Alvarez.

[00:47:40]Oh, that's superb technique to get past, but that's good defending. Well won. And there's a chance for the break here.

[00:47:56]Enzo Fernandez Molina. They've got to find reverse here now. [cheering] Marcus Turan and the flag will go up. The deflection of his own teammate.

[00:48:17]>> Well, we see on the replay, Guy, but I don't think it was ever going to trouble the goalkeeper even if it did find a way through.

[00:48:34]>> [screaming] >> And France regaining possession.

[00:48:46][cheering] Kundai onto Rabio teing up the chance now.

[00:49:00]opportunity now and maybe not the best idea to go for the blast. Accuracy sacrifice for power.

[00:49:18]>> [cheering] >> Martinez Medina just about able to keep it in.

[00:49:38]Now this has to be denied at close quarters. In those split seconds, you raise the sharp reflexes and that stop was absolutely flawless.

[00:50:03]Here it comes. And it's been cut out.

[00:50:05]There's the turnover and cleared behind for another corner.

[00:50:25]It's played in now or maybe only a half chance. It's missed by quite a distance.

[00:50:30]>> Yeah, this is great defending. There's so much pressure on him just as he's about to head. This means he can't hit the target.

[00:51:02]>> [cheering] >> and they might be in.

[00:51:13]Alexis Mallister and the attack is over. Really good defending. A chance now for a quick transition.

[00:51:22]That's not a bad looking ball.

[00:51:31]Got in the way a bit and that results in a corner.

[00:51:55]And the ball comes in and that's nicely won to see off the threat.

[00:52:04]Now there could be a chance to counter.

[00:52:09]He's got to get back quickly. Oh, and a goal for them. But I'm afraid it barely even counts as consolation.

[00:52:27]Well, here's the replay. And it's a deaf finish, you have to say. Just takes a little off it, opts to place it instead.

[00:52:34]than the keeper. He's left with no chance.

[00:52:52]The back and forth resumes then and there's no telling what happens from here.

[00:52:59]Hernandez.

[00:53:02]Deopp.

[00:53:16]Fernandez.

[00:53:21]They've won the ball now to keep it.

[00:53:33]could be dangerous now. Composure needed. Oh, wonderful stop from the keeper.

[00:53:39]>> Yeah, he didn't have long to react, but you have to praise his reflexes.

[00:54:00]And the corner is fired in. Oh, that was risky, but they've got away with it.

[00:54:09]Hernandez onto Rabio.

[00:54:17]That's a good ball.

[00:54:22]Well, worth a shot. Oh, he tried to power it in. That's flown wide.

[00:54:26]Absolutely flown.

[00:54:51]Fakundo Medina and played back to Martinez.

[00:55:04]This could get interesting.

[00:55:08]taking a chance and a firm grip kept on the ball.

[00:55:13]>> Rodrigo Deport and Molina Romero.

[00:55:29]Need to get tighter here.

[00:55:38]teing up the chance now.

[00:55:40]Real opportunity.

[00:55:43]And what a save that is.

[00:56:01]Corner kick played in. But they won't be getting anything with that one.

[00:56:09]This looks too easy. It looks far too easy. Here they go. The attack is on and the cross comes in and maybe Oh, it's a penalty.

[00:56:48]And it's in. A show of composure from 12 yds out.

[00:57:03]Well, have a look at this. The keeper doesn't move. Expects him to hit it straight at him. Makes for a simple finish in the end.

[00:57:26]>> [cheering] [screaming] >> Goal for the hosts number 20 Alexis Mallister >> Rabio Oise onto Rabio.

[00:57:46]The ball taken away from them.

[00:57:53]Fernandez.

[00:58:09]Tackle made and out for a throw.

[00:58:19]That is literally a throw away of possession.

[00:58:25]Marel Molina Rodrigo Dep hasn't got far. Game brought to a halt. It's a free kick given for that.

[00:58:56]Good cross into the middle. Oh, good try. Just over.

[00:59:00]>> Well, that's a great delivery from out wide. The run is good. He manages to make a good connection on the ball, but can't get his head over it.

[00:59:25]Ois.

[00:59:28]This could be dangerous now. Surely a heroic stop.

[00:59:39]Might get caught on the break here.

[00:59:43]Try to keep it under pressure.

[00:59:47]>> No need to stop the play. On they go.

[00:59:56]Akundo Medina [cheering] Fernandez and set up the chance.

[01:00:09]Oh, real opportunity.

[01:00:11]Well, that's how to deal with it. Nicely gathered.

[01:00:17]Deopp Andreen Rabio.

[01:00:29]>> There he's in.

[01:00:32]>> Superb defending to stop an almost certain goal.

[01:00:35]>> Oh, he got stuck in there, didn't he?

[01:00:38]Now the chance for them to pull forward.

[01:00:41]Promising looking ball.

[01:00:45]Options available in the middle.

[01:00:49]Who takes it on and that's not a bad save at all.

[01:01:00]Adrienne Rabio looks a good ball onto it in on goal.

[01:01:07]A stunning piece of goalkeeping.

[01:01:09]>> Well, it takes something special to save like that from close range. His reactions were remarkable.

[01:01:28]>> And the ball comes in and that one should easily be cleared.

[01:01:38]Christian Romero. And that is the final blast. Not the result that the visiting fans were hoping for. What did you make of it all?

[01:01:47]>> Well, they'll be disappointed with not just the result, but also the way that they played. They were a bit sloppy for me. The midfield never really dictated the game. And it's just how they react from this now.

[01:01:58]>> I think we'd have to give Kian Mbappé only good marks for his display today.

[01:02:02]More than satisfactory. Yeah, I think he's had a good game. He'll be pleased with his goal. So unlucky hitting the woodwork, but his overall play was impressive as well.

[01:02:34]We're at the magnificent venue that is [music] Old Trafford, Manchester. I'm Guy Moy and alongside me for commentary is Sue Smith. And hopefully we've got some goals and drama on the way. It's France facing Argentina.

[01:02:47]>> Well, I'm sure both managers will have given them their final instructions. Go out and give it their all. Hopefully, that'll be enough for a positive result.

[01:02:55]I'm looking forward to this one. And number 10, Kian Hbate.

[01:03:10][cheering] >> [music] >> This is the France starting 11. Mike Manan is in goal. William Saliba plays alongside Deo Upano as the center backs.

[01:03:57]Adrienne Rabio plays alongside Aurelian Shumeni in midfield. And the main man up front is Kian Mbappé.

[01:04:07][cheering] Thank you for attending Old Trafford.

[01:04:35]Enjoy the match. This is the Argentina team. Emiliano Martinez is the goalkeeper. Christian Romero plays alongside Landro Martinez as the center backs. And up front, Laro Martinez plays alongside Lionol Messi.

[01:05:04]And we're off. Let's see what this one has in store.

[01:05:13]Deoppian Mbappé >> nicely sets it up. The effort shut out.

[01:05:23]>> Well, that's brilliant, isn't it? It's a great block.

[01:05:33]And he's got that one away.

[01:05:42]And they won't be going any further.

[01:05:49]Mbappé just needs the composure now.

[01:05:53]Got behind it and kept it out.

[01:05:58]Malister Rodrigo Deport and onto McAllister now Martinez. That's a lovely ball.

[01:06:10]There might be something building now.

[01:06:15]And the attack collapses.

[01:06:30]And he's going to go. The referee has sent him off.

[01:06:33]>> Yeah, it had to be a red. They'll have to organize that back line now, though.

[01:06:43]>> Now, here comes a change.

[01:06:55]It could turn out to be a really good ball.

[01:06:59]The clearance is completed. It's out for a corner.

[01:07:09]Over it comes. The goalkeeper has that and keeps it in his grasp and played back to Martinez.

[01:07:30]Now Shanei and they've been hunted down. It's out for a throw.

[01:07:40]Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[01:08:03]Heat.

[01:08:19]Heat.

[01:08:24][screaming] Aurelian Shuaini.

[01:08:46]>> Oh, maybe a bit of space now.

[01:08:50]And ready for it coming his way.

[01:09:06]It's been delivered and it's saved and held.

[01:09:13]Molina, Martinez, now Molina, Malistister.

[01:09:24][cheering] Lots of room for them now.

[01:09:30]That's where any chance of anything developing disappears.

[01:09:43]And the work pays off as they get the ball back.

[01:09:51]Rodrigo Depal.

[01:09:53]Martinez onto Depal.

[01:10:00]Thiago Almarda struggling to keep it here.

[01:10:10]Adrienne Rabio.

[01:10:12]Now this has to be and a really smart stop there.

[01:10:23]Switched on and ready to intercept there.

[01:10:29]Fernandez.

[01:10:33]That's a good ball to put them ahead and they've SCORED AGAINST ALL ODDS. They've got in front after the red card. That is a stunning twist.

[01:10:54]>> Another look now. And you can see he's under all sorts of pressure here. He's done well though to fend them off.

[01:11:00]Really strong play and a good finish too.

[01:11:18]France get the game restarted.

[01:11:20]Disappointed to have conceded.

[01:11:22]Kian Mbappé. France trying to get things moving.

[01:11:28]Chance for the equalizer. It's in. A frenetic start and we're all square once again. Incredible.

[01:11:43]Well, if we watch this again, it's all about being alert in and around the box.

[01:11:47]And when the ball falls to him, he's clinical. That's a really nice finish.

[01:12:06]So, it's one each as the game restarts.

[01:12:12]Alvarez really nicely played. What can they do with this now?
