Theo Hernandez, succeeding his injured brother Lucas, was behind the first goal when he played Adrien Rabiot, who headed the ball into the goal.
That goal made it 1-1 after Craig Goodwin had given Australia a shock lead earlier.
After that, France completely dominated, Olivier Giroud grabbing the headlines with two goals and several historic milestones.
In part, at the age of 36 years and 53 days, he became the oldest French scorer in the EC or WC. On the one hand, with his second goal, he went up to 51 complete strikes in the national team and thus touched Thierry Henry’s goal-scoring.
