How long will Thierry Henry be France’s only top scorer? The 1998 world champion and his 51 units since Tuesday evening was followed by another world champion, this time in 2018: Olivier Giroud. In the match with Australia, which opens the World Cup in Qatar, the Milan striker scored the second tricolor goal and his 50th personal rebound. Henry’s record is only one unit away…
It was not the most difficult goal in his career. At the end of the action initiated by Kylian Mbappe, he received an offer signed by Adrien Rabiot in the area. Fat had only to push the ball into the net. This is Giroud’s second World Cup goal of his career. He scored against Switzerland (5-2) in the group stage in 2014 in Brazil before going silent in 2018 in Russia.
Before Olivier Giroud’s goal, Adrien Rabiot allowed the French team to equalize with the Australians. With an angry header from a cross by Theo Hernandez, who had just replaced his injured brother Lucas, the former PSG midfielder delivered the Blues after a tough start to the game.
