Olivier Giroud Penalty Saves France vs. Moldova in Euro 2020 Qualifier

France have already qualified in the 2020 Euros, and it showed during Thursday's qualifying match vs. Moldova.

Les Blues offered a lacklustre display at the Stade de France in Paris, securing a 2-1 victory despite an incredibly mediocre first half that saw Moldova's Vadim Rata score the game's opening goal. Raphael Varane and Olivier Giroud answered for France, however, giving the country a nervy win in what was expected to be a routine, stress-free day at the office.

The victory moved France back atop Group H on 22 points, two ahead of Turkey with one fixture remaining.
