(Video) Olivier Giroud makes it 2-1 to reigning champions before half-time

Posted by

Olivier Giroud has netted his 50th international goal to give France the lead before the interval against Australia.

Australia opened the scoring through Craig Goodwin, who left Les Bleus’ defenders red-faced after a dismal display and start to the match for the reigning world champions.

However, France then equalised through Adrien Rabiot in the 27th minute and have dominated the match ever since. Giroud secured the lead only five minutes later. Watch the goal below:
