Commentary
WOW! Faghani has NOT changed his mind! It looked like he had pointed to the spot, but the referee says Mbappe initiated the contact! That is a huge moment of controversy, and a huge let-off for Senegal. Ooof, not sure about that one.
Yes, Faghani has indeed been told to check the pitch-side monitor. This feels pretty inevitable. Mane caught the trailing leg of Mbappe. This feels an absolute stonewaller.
OH BIG CALL HERE! Mbappe is convinced he should have a penalty after a sliding tackle from Mane. Did the former Liverpool man get a nudge on the ball? A corner has been given, this will surely be checked by VAR.
GREAT SAVE! Oh, it looks for all the world like Mbappe is going to put France ahead as the ball breaks for him one-on-one, but his one-on-one shot is brilliantly saved by the leg of Mendy! Another big moment in this game. Mbappe later wins a corner for France, which is taken short and comes to nothing.
Senegal get deep into France territory, but Upamecano shepherds Jackson off the ball. Later in the move, Ismaila Sarr just overhits a throughball into Jackson.
GOOD SAVE! France are waking up a little here. Olise drifts into the Senegal penalty area wonderfully and tries to dink it over Mendy, who spreads himself well and manages to get the shot over the crossbar. It's a big chance for France. Olise's follow-up corner is straight into Mendy's hands.
