Scorer: Renard 5′

France celebrated playing their 500th match in all competitions with a win on the road in Austria.

A strong start led to the eventual winner when Wenndie Renard got on the end of a free-kick from Selma Bacha.

Despite only eight shots (three on target) by the end of the match, Austria struggled to respond and ultimately fell short of the comeback.

In all competitions, France now have 294 wins, 91 draws and 115 defeats to their name over 52 years.

They currently sit at the top of Group A2 with two wins from two while Austria are bottom of the table.
