FIFA World Cup Live: France vs Poland
25′ Shift in momentum of play as Poland are seeing more of the ball now but the lack of creativity is evident as France’s defenders are having it easy so far. A French counter-attack, though, is looming at large.

20′ First shot on target for Poland! Barely worried French keeper Lloris, who collected the ball calmly after Lewandowski shot with his left foot from far.

18′ Poland are playing a compact 4-5-1 formation with little space between the midfield and defence. However, that also means Lewandowski is left alone at the top while Poland struggle to counter so far. It certainly is France attack vs Poland defence.

14′ Mbappe puts Giroud through from the left flank but Szczesny was quick of his line to collect the ball. Polish defence has been really focussed so far, working as one unit to allow the French attack quarter no space to build on.

3′ Close! France win their first corner but Griezmann’s danger ball into the box was headed inches away from the goal by Raphael Varane. Poland are facing the heat early on from the set pieces.
