Brave keeping from Hugo Lloris who into a path of raised feet dives out to punch clear a Diego Godin knockdown.
Uruguay win a free-kick moments later but the South American side fail to do anything with it.Uruguay's roughshod tactics see France win a free-kick out wide on the left but Antoine Griezmann's cross onto the box is not a great one and it results in a Uruguay free-kick.
Good response from France who were starting to get overrun. They have got the ball down and started to use their attacking strengths as Mbappe's ball into the box is well headed away by Martin Caceres.But this Uruguay side can play too. Down the left Diego Laxalt attacks, but his low cross into the box fails to find a team-mate as France eventually clear.This could become a physical match quite quickly and already Uruguay are up to their tricks as Jose Gimenez leaves a sneaky foot on the achilles of Olivier Giroud who just needs a moment or two to recover before the game continues.Big goal for France that, because it has ruined Uruguay's gameplan of frustrating Les Bleus. The South Americans will now have to attack and that sets up a France counter through Mbapp nicely.
