Game

France controlled most of the match, shutting most of the Australian's game quite easily. They could have won if they had converted a relatively easy chancein front of an open net.

Post game quote
Australian interim Coach Adrian Santrac
"To concede the goal at that stage was disappointing, but to put things
in perspective, when you compare the preparation of the two teams and
consider our short time together as a group, our results have been first
class. Today we didn't play well on the ball, but we worked hard to retain shape, our discipline, and tactical awareness."

Australia needs a draw to claim the series and France must win by two clear goals.
