Your support makes all the difference.A 90th-minute header by substitute striker Antoine Griezmann and a stoppage-time second by Dimitri Payet secured France a 2-0 win over Albania on Wednesday that sent the hosts through as the first team into the last 16 of Euro 2016.
France had struggled to make any impression on a determined Albanian defence and as the clock ticked into the last minute neither team had managed a shot on target — though both had hit a post.
They had needed an 89th-minute Payet goal to beat Romania in their first game last Friday and it was even later when centre back Adil Rami swung in a hopeful cross that Griezmann guided expertly home.
The 67,000 Stade Velodrome crowd — minus 20,000 stunned Albanians — erupted in a wave of noise, which was repeated minutes later when Payet cut inside to score a second.
With six points France are guaranteed to finish in the top two of Group A, with Switzerland, on four points after drawing with Romania earlier, favourites to join them.
