At MetLife Stadium, the first half between France and Senegal ended in a goalless draw. This is the first match for Group I.
The first and only dangerous opportunity in the first half was in the 24th minute, when Nicolas Jackson shook Mike Maignan's post with a powerful left-footed shot.
In the following minutes, the match was almost equal and both teams were unable to convert their numerous attempts towards the goal.
In the extra minutes of the first half, after a fantastic assist from Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr does the most difficult thing alone and very close to the goal.
Although France came in as the super favorite in this match, the field of play showed the opposite, at least in the first half, where Senegal created more chances and opportunities and came closer to the goal. The first half ends 0-0.
