“We should have taken the lead after the first half, but they scored at their only chance. That, of course, gave them strength. They defended very well, they did that against Portugal until the 83rd minute. The point is, this is not what we had hoped for, but given the context (…) Shots that are not framed cannot hit the nets. In the end we scored a goal but we expected more. We have to accept this.”
With 4 out of 6, France is not yet certain of qualification in group F, the so-called ‘group of death’. At 6 pm, defending champion Portugal, which won 0-3 against Hungary, will take on Germany in Munich. The Mannschaft lost its opening match against the French 1-0.
