Full-time: France 1-1 Poland

It turns out this really was the 'Group of Death'. Poland were excellent as they held France in Dortmund and they could have easily had more. The result means Austria top Group D ahead of France who have plenty of questions over their status as one of the favourites to win Euro 2024...

Penalty? No!

Mbappe goes down on the edge of the box but under a challenge from Dawidowicz but the referee is having none of it.

As it stands...

It's all over in the other group game with Austria beating Netherlands 3-2. France have to find a winner or they'll finish runners-up to Ralf Rangnick's side.

A reminder of what's at stake

A reminder: Poland are already out of Euro 2024, Austria, France and the Netherlands are already in the last 16.

81'

As it stands...

Just as Poland go level, there's TWO goals in the other game. Depay equalises for the Netherlands but then Sabitzer puts Austria 3-2 up. Austria are back top of the group with France second ahead of Netherlands in third.

Goal! Lewandowski!

Lewandowski goes the same way and couldn't have placed it any better in off the post. Poland are already out of Euro 2024 but this is a great performance in a thrilling Group D.

Saved!

Lewandowski stutters far too much in the run up but Maignan outwaits him and saves the shot!

Poland penalty!

It's given, Poland have their chance!

76'

Under review!

The referee is coming to look at Upamecano's challenge, this could be interesting...

75'

Drama!

Swiderski is adamant he deserves a penalty but the referee waves it off. The ball goes down the other end and Mbappe nearly puts it away.

73'

Lewandowski!

The Barca striker fashions a great chance and nearly finds the corner from range. He scored plenty here with BVB but that would have been one of his best.

Cagey in the middle

Moder wins a free kick, and there have been plenty since the start of the half.

Mbappe again!

Mbappe's moved to the left where Barcola had plenty of luck in the first half and he's already had two great shots.

Another shot for Mbappe...

... and another save for Skorupski. This time the Real Madrid man tries to curl a shot and it's again well stopped.

As it stands

We have another goal in Group D, and it's again in the other match. Cody Gakpo has equalised for the Netherlands, moving them to the top of the group.

Back underway

After a brief adjustment to his mask, Mbappe kicks off the second half.

Kick-off!

Half-time: France 0-0 Poland

It's fitting that the final act of the first half is a great clearance from Lukasz Skorupski. The Poland keeper has been excellent, but it's not like his teammates haven't. This one could still go either way, and with Austria ahead against the Netherlands, France will be worried.

Half-time

45'

Frankowski having an afternoon from hell

Frankowski takes down Barcola and is lucky to avoid a yellow. Poland will surely have to make a tweak on the right hand side for the second half.

Yet another Skorupski save

The Bologna shot stopper is having a personal duel with Mbappe now, and so far he's winning.

Another dangerous France ball

France are having plenty of luck down the left hand side and this time Hernandez runs through and puts the ball in the six yard box. Zielinski gets there first, though, and clears well.

Adrien Rabiot

Wow! Another Skorupski save!

Barcola and Mbappe combine on the left and the new Real Madrid signing pokes the ball on goal but Bologna's goalkeeper flicks it around the post.

Plenty of chances

It's a surprise this one is still scoreless given both teams have looked fluid in attack.

Saliba with a chance

France building

France work a decent shooting chance and Tchouameni's effort is blocked for a corner.

35'

Another Poland chance

Lewandowski sends a header just wide. France look the better side but the Poles are far from out of this one and it could well still go either way.

32'

Settling down now

Poland are trying to make things happen through Zielinski but so far Rabiot has him covered.

Drinks break

The games paused for a quick refreshment with the sun beaming down in Dortmund.

Nicola Zalewski

First yellow

Mbappe gets ready to make tracks on the counter but Zalewski pulls him back and is deservedly booked.

Barcola busy

Bradley Barcola is hard at work on the left wing and trying to get his side ahead.

Big save!

That's another great save from Skorupski on Dembele from point-blank range. The Frenchman really should have scored the opener at his old stadium.

Poland dominating the shots

Moder tries a harmless long-range effort, but Poland are doing well to create chances against one of the world's best sides.

Another Poland shot!

A corner comes out to Urbanski and he hits the ball first time, it's straight at Maignan and an easy save, but it's still encouraging for Poland.

14'

Smiles from Kante

Mbappe gets the ball in space and finds Kante with a great ball through. Not a regular scorer from his defensive midfield position, he can't make anything of the pass.

12'

Big save!

Dembele has all the time in the world to pick someone out in the box and cleverly finds Hernandez running in at the far post. Everyone holds their breath but Skorupski makes the save.

As it stands

We have an opener in Group D, and it's courtesy of Austria as Dortmund's Malen puts the ball in his own Dutch net. As things stand Austria top the group.

Good chance Poland!

Lewandowski nearly sets up a chance and then France's interception falls to Zielinski who tests Maignan from range.

Nice from Barcola

The PSG youngster roasts Frankowski and his ball into the box is sent out for a corner.

France are on it

The 2018 World Cup winners are all over Poland.

Tackles won

We're underway!

It's kick off here at a flare-filled Westfalenstadion.

Kick-off!

Bundesliga interest

There's three Bundesliga players to keep your eyes on today, Kingsley Coman and Dayot Upamecano of France and Bayern Munich, and also Tymoteusz Puchacz of Kaiserslautern and Poland. Of course there's also Bayern Munich legend Lewandowski who has the hopes of a nation on his shoulders.

More on those teams

The headline news is the return of France captain Kylian Mbappe after his broken nose against Austria. He's one of two changes, replacing Marucs Thuram while Bradley Barcola comes in for Antoine Griezmann. Poland give their talisman Robert Lewandowski his first start of the tournament. He joins Skorupski, Urbanski, Szymanski and Moder in making their way into the line-up. Buksa, Piatek, Szczesny, Slisz and Piotrowski make way.

France hungry for goals

France are already through to the tournament's Round of 16 but their fans would delight in seeing Le Bleus score a few more goals. Didier Deschamps's side have mustered just one in their two games in the competition thus far.

Poland fans in good spirits

Despite their team having been knocked out of Euro 2024 with a game to spare, Poland's fans are making the most of their remaining time in Germany by helping to create a party atmosphere in Dortmund today.

France close in on knockouts

France will secure a top-two finish in Group D if they avoid defeat to already eliminated Poland. A shock loss would also send them through, as long as Austria don't beat the Netherlands. A draw in that game coupled with a France defeat would leave them and Austria level on four points, but les Bleus would finish second on head-to-head.
