A highlight of the game
Mbappe broke the deadlock in the 56th minute with his first Euro goal. It was also the first goal by a French player at the Euro 2024. He calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net after Kiwior’s poor challenge on Ousmane Dembele. But Dayot Upamecano brought down Polish substitute Swiderksi, which allowed Lewandowski to level from the spot in the 79th minute.
At first, Lewandowski's spot kick was saved by Mike Maignan, but it was retaken because Maignan jumped too early. Lewandowski didn't miss in his second attempt and that goal was enough to secure a point against France, their first and only point in the Euro 2024.
Austria and France qualify for the Euro 2024 round of 16. Netherlands too made their way to the knockouts after finishing as one of the best four third-placed teams with four points.
