with atmosphere and two teams ready to commit themselves to Excellence for 90 captivating minutes we're privileged to be here on an occasion that resonates with football fans everywhere and if you think you know who's going to win you are hello everyone our travels have taken us to Southern France for this game to the stad V I'm Derek Ray on the commentary Gantry and delighted to be joined as always by Stuart Robson and we can't wait for this one to start with justifiable cause it's France against Italy thanks Derek well often we talk about the tactics the individual players players that are missing but so often it's the mentality of the players that is key to winning any football game which of these teams has the right attitude today is the big question well the danger is still there but it just beered [Applause] out it did look on for them but not to be can they Forge [Applause] ahead oh that's textbook goalkeeping here's the side France will go with well they're going to play with two Wingers here but I'm just a little bit worried that the center forward could become isolated therefore the Midfield players need to get forward as much as possible in this 433 [Applause] shape Kanan mbappe in the center well nothing comes of it and the Italy starting 11 Jan Luigi donaruma is the keeper Nicolo barela plays alongside geino in the center of Midfield and they line up with just the one Striker looking to do a bit of damage able to skip past his man well in the final analysis it was good defending well anwan gasman really has emerged as one of the elite players in World football Stewart what do you expect to see from him in this game well it's his ability with the ball at his feet that makes him such a good player he can go past Defenders with these he can play in tight areas and he has that bit of trickery as well I'm really looking forward to seeing him play [Applause] today and cutting it out mbappe mbappe it luck well an attempt almost from a different post code and not very far away well from that sort of range that's a very decent [Applause] effort no letup on the pressing front find work from France to win back [Applause] possession rabio rman in the middle still alive making sure nothing un to [Applause] happened the referee's letting it go as they keep the ball perfect [Applause] challenge Under Pressure well the referee allowing the play to [Applause] flow a move of promise on the flank real chance and the keeper more than equal to the task well a chance here perhaps to invigorate their aerial targets it's a short one not increasing the pressure pressure another corner it is playing it short well that's how to keep the opposition at [Applause] Bay fine ball from antoan griesman Hernandez and a chance Hernandez well the keeper is Happy the bar was there well it came to nothing in the end possession one just one minute of stoppage time say the officials griman he had to react and did and so there it is the first half has come to an end here at the orang venod but it's usually hard to take your eyes off on grias man but Stuart has he offered enough in this game well he struggled to have any real impact on the game I think if they are to kick on in the second half it's key that he sees a [Music] bit so back underway here into the second half and teammates are around him and doing really well from an acute angle well that's a decent effort from there it really was a tight [Applause] situation asman France looking dangerous here might it be oniru it's still alive Splendid [Applause] defending and a struggle for France to keep the [Applause] ball Gman still pushing for that goal that would see them for ahead and offside just as he was ready to [Applause] pounce committed challenge ziru it's a fierce effort and it's come off the keeper determined defending they decided that now is the time to go to the [Applause] bench Gman task with taking the corner and still danger here [Applause] and the keeper stretching to deny him well as you can see they've done everything in terms of creativity they've made opportunities but the finishing hasn't been good enough at some point they have to finish one of these chances [Applause] off Jak raspadori trying to open up the [Applause] defense easy meet for the goalkeeper well he was in the right place to intercept Kanan he failed to hold it [Applause] just 15 minutes remaining barela can he put them in front and the post denied him oranu te ernandez now jiu well you can see how fiercely they're concentrating on finding a winner well sometimes you need inspiration from your goalkeeper well he's pulled off a decent save here but more importantly they stay on level terms here it is now a substitution played in by griman easy save oh good looking run but no damage done that's the main [Applause] thing donaruma well they're doing a fine job of applying pressure here not giving their opponent opponent time to think or get out of their own half mbappe tries his luck well the keeper did his job didn't really have to work hard in all honesty jinho perfect tackle well the referee has instructed the fourth official to put in with a Chance oh can you believe it with so little time left surely that will be the winner amazing scenes [Applause] here well just watch this again griezmann's pass is in perfect and all you can do is admire the Finish By mbappe he hits the ball so cleanly it's a fantastic strike [Applause] [Applause] and the final whistle is sounded a victory here for France Stuart your thoughts on their performance yes der there wasn't much in it to be honest really competitive game with chances at both ends but they probably just about edged it overall and deserve the result in the end well you know I think Kilian mbappe enjoyed himself your verdict on his performance tonight well I thought he had a good all round performance today only emphasized by the late winner an extremely important moment and boy did he deliver [Applause]
