Dimitri Payet may as well play with a blindfold on. He does things with a ball which other plays can only dream of doing with their eyes open.

A beautiful stepover and that trademark no-look pass into the path of Patrice Evra. The fans enjoyed that one. Naughty football from the Hammer.

"Once Romania conceded I thought it would kill their resolve. But they have kept going and doing the same things."

Romania do make a change though. Nicola Stancui, who won the penalty, comes off and Alexandru Chipciu of Steaua Bucharest enters the pitch.

Mihai Pintilii is a solid man and comes back onto the pitch.

Andrei Prepelita, who was stripped and ready to come on, sits back down.

Frustrated, Olivier Giroud goes in hard on Mihai Pintilii with the ball in the air. The French striker gets a yellow card.

Pintilii doesn't look in good shape here, he's got the look of a man who has just been smacked in the chops by Anthony Joshua.

Goalscorer Olivier Giroud goes down in the box under the attention of Vlad Chiriches but the referee waves away the protests.

Didn't look like a penalty.

"I think the penalty award was harsh but I don't understand why Patrice Evra made an attempt. He didn't need to do it. It was a soft penalty but I understand why it was given."

Now then, what do France have? How will they react?

"Patrice Evra is an amazing defender. I don't know why he did that."

An immediate reaction from France coach Didier Deschamps.

Antoine Griezmann, not happy to be substituted, trudges off the pitch and on comes Kingsley Coman of Bayern Munich.

Nicolae Stanciu is clipped in the box by full-back Patrice Evra and the referee points to the spot!

There have been a few renditions of 'Allez les Bleus' tonight but none with the same jauntiness as the one that followed Olivier Giroud's goal. Apart from the block of Romanian yellow behind Hugo Lloris's goal, the whole stadium was dancing. They are back on their feet now, waving thousands of Tricolour flags.

Robert Sterry: Brilliant refereeing so many would have disallowed that for contact on the keeper.

Lee: The goalie bottled challenging for that.

Daniel Anderson: Giroud has just scored the first goal of Euro 2016, the end is nigh.

France have got their first and may feel the floodgates have opened.

It's the Dimitri Payet- Olivier Giroud combination again, as the Arsenal man stretches to get on the end of his team-mate's free-kick, but this time the Romania defenders can get the ball away from danger.

That is Florin Andone's last act of the match, he comes off and Denis Alibec of Astra Giurgiu comes on. Can he change the match?

At the other end, Romania have an opportunity to equalise immediately, but Florin Andone's header at the near post goes wide. Once again he was free in the box.

"Great delivery by Payet and Giroud does what he does best. The keeper is complaining Giroud elbows his arm which stops him getting the ball. But you have got to be stronger than that."
