France captain Hugo Lloris was delighted to see Dimitri Payet net the winning goal as the host nation kicked off Euro 2016 with a 2-1 victory over Romania.
A spot-kick from Bogdan Stancu cancelled out Olivier Giroud's 57th-minute opener at the Stade de France on Friday and the game looked to be heading for a draw.
However, in the 89th minute, West Ham's Payet dispatched a rocket of a shot into the top corner to seal the win.
"The most important thing was to get the three points," Lloris said. "It was a tough game with a lot of pressure and we also felt quite a lot of tension in our team.
