Watch: Australia take shock lead against reigning world champions France

Argentina went down to Saudi Arabia earlier in the day, and it did not take Australia long to suggest they might be there for more than to spectate.

The problems extend beyond just the deficit for France too. During that play, Lucas Hernandez appeared to twist his knee and went down in agony. He was replaced by brother Theo Hernandez at left-back.
