Mercurial Mbappe saves blushes as French attack falters again

France had to rely on the persistence of Kylian Mbappe to snatch a 1-1 draw against Hungary in a pulsating Euro 2020 group clash at the Puskas Stadium on Saturday as their attack once again failed to fire in front of an fervent crowd of 65,000.

For all his skill and trickery, Mbappe's creation of the French equaliser initially owed more to heart and strength as he chased down a long ball and fired it across the goal, where Antoine Griezmann was on hand to fire home as Hungary failed to clear.Despite their dominance in their Group F opener against Germany, it took an own goal from Mats Hummels to help France to a 1-0 win as they managed only four attempts on goal in the whole game, with only one of them on target.

The introduction of Ousmane Dembele for Adrien Rabiot in the 57th minute gave France an added attacking dimension down the right, and he hit the outside of a post with a shot two minutes after coming on.
