The turning point of the game came in the 50th minute, when Ireland paid for the mistake. Midfielder Josh Cullen sent a dangerous cross in front of the penalty area, let Pavard catch the ball and then shot his right foot from nearly 20 meters away, sending the ball to the bottom edge of the crossbar into the net. This is only Pavard's third goal for France in 48 games, but two of them are masterpieces from long range.

Ireland: Bazunu, Collins, Egan, O'Shea, Coleman, Molumby, Cullen, Doherty, Knight, Ogbene, Ferguson.

France: Maignan, Pavard, Konate, Upamecano, Hernandez, Camavinga, Griezmann, Rabiot, Kolo Muani, Mbappe, Giroud.
