France vs Australia LIVE: World Cup 2022 latest score and updates after Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud goals

France 4-1 Australia: Craig Goodwin’s early goal sparked a reaction from the defending champions as Adrien Rabiot, Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe goals turned the match around

Fifa World Cup: Results and reaction from day three in Qatar

Australia gave France an early scare before the defending World Cup champions turned on the style in a 4-1 win in their Group D opener.

Craig Goodwin gave the Socceroos a shock lead after just nine minutes with a composed finish at the back post and France looked out of sorts in the early stages.

But Adrien Rabiot’s header pulled France level before Olivier Giroud scored a second within five minutes as the 2018 World Cup winners turned the match around.

Kylian Mbappe got off the mark for the World Cup in the second half from Ousmane Dembele’s cross, before Giroud scored his second to level Thierry Henry as France’s record scorer with his 51st international goal.

It leaves France top of Group D after Denmark and Tunisia shared the points in a goalless draw earlier in the day. Follow all the reaction from Al-Janoub Stadium with our live blog below.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

45 mins: Lozano is brought down as he bursts into the Poland box, and he wants a free kick.

None is given, but the ball rolls to the onrushing Sanchez, who blasts a shot at goal!

Szczesny reacts well to tip the ball over the crossbar!

Mexico 0-0 Poland

44 mins: A sharp diagonal ball out to Lozano on the right is brought down really well by Mexico’s star man.

Some good interplay follows, but the move breaks down in the Poland box.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

40 mins: Again Mexico play a corner short, and it ends up being the wrong choice. They lose control as they try to work the ball across the edge of the Poland box, before losing possession altogether.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

38 mins: Lozano rolls in a low cross from the right, but it’s stabbed away by the retreating Poland defence.

Corner to Mexico.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

35 mins: Poland have failed to get the best out of Lewandowski so far. He’s not had enough service, and when his teammates have gotten the ball to him, the deliveries haven’t been clean enough.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

31 mins: Poland go long with the throw, and Mexico goalkeeper Ochoa catches the ball in his box.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

30 mins: Poland have a free kick near the halfway line after that Sanchez foul, and a long ball is sent into the Mexico box. It’s headed away, though, and Poland have a throw-in on their right flank.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

28 mins: Another Mexico chance!!

A terrific chipped pass into the Poland box reaches Gallardo near the byline, and the Mexican tries to cut it back towards goal, but Szczesny rushes out and – with some help from his defenders – does enough to force Gallardo into screwing the ball wide of the post.

Sanchez then picks up the first yellow card of the match moments later.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

27 mins: Chance! A one-two between Lozano and Herrera ends with the latter sweeping in a cross, and the resultant back-post header drifts across goal and just wide of Szczesny’s post!
