    Antoine Griezmann got a huge ovation when he came out to take that corner.

    Can France keep their winning streak going or will Denmark stop them again, for the third time this year?

    Corner to France. Antoine Griezmann takes but Joachim Andersen heads away.

    France are looking incredibly slick tonight. But Denmark aren't out of this one by a long shout and could get some late chances.

    France are not as tight at the back as they would like. Denmark have the team to go on and win this!

  10. France 1-1 Denmark

    This is the first time France have conceded in three consecutive World Cup games since 1986.

    Didier Deschamps is talking to his coaches. What changes could they make?

    Denmark ended a run of 271 minutes without a goal in the World Cup.

  13. France 1-1 Denmark

    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Really cleverly worked set piece - whipped into the near post, gets the flick on and just needs someone to get on the end of it and Andreas Christensen does that and he puts it in the back of the net.

    What a response from Denmark!

    GOAL - France 1-1 Denmark

    Andreas Christensen

    It did not look on the cards at all but Denmark are suddenly level.

    Christian Eriksen floats in a corner and Joachim Andersen flicks it onto Andreas Christensen, who beats Adrien Rabiot to the ball and stoops to head in.

    France just about deal with a Danish cross into the box. And another. And now it's a Denmark corner. Decent response.

  17. France 1-0 Denmark

    Only Pele (seven), Mario Kempes and James Rodriguez (six each) have netted as many World Cup goals before turning 24 as Kylian Mbappe (six).

    Mbappe turns 24 two days after the final.

    Sash: Assuming we do manage to win our group and beat Ecuador/Senegal, we haven't got a chance against France. They are simply different gravy.

    David: Dare I say France look BETTER than they did in 2018? Last tournament they were stubborn and tough, never that adventurous and exciting. The front four this tournament look like they share one brain with such fluid, entertaining football. It looks like men against boys.

  19. Forty years and counting...

    France 1-0 Denmark

    Not to doubt Denmark's determination, but France haven't lost after scoring the opener in their last 22 matches at the World Cup.

    The last time was a 3-2 defeat against Poland in 1982.

    The France fans are rattling the shipping containers after that goal.

    "Allez Les Bleus" rings out around Stadium 974.

    They deserve that goal.
