France (1-0-0, 3 points) vs. Peru (0-0-1, 0 points) Group C, Ekaterinburg Arena, Ekaterinburg Opening thoughts France won its opener against Australia but didn’t look all that great doing so, letting the Socceroos hang around for nearly the entire match until Paul Pogba scored the game-winner in the 81st minute (the second goal for Les Bleus that was awarded via the use of video review). For Peru, it was pretty much the opposite: It controlled the action for much of its opener against Denmark but fell, 1-0, with Christian Cueva missing a penalty kick late in the first half.
