Dimitri Payet’s spectacular late goal gave host France victory over Romania 2-1 in the opening match of Euro 2016 amid a huge security operation at the Stade de France.
On an emotional evening at the same venue where suicide bombers struck in the November attacks that killed 130 people across the city, Payet ensured the game ended on a high note with a sensational 30-yard strike.
France, who triumphed in their last two major tournaments on home soil, Euro 1984 and the 1998 World Cup, is favourite to win this time too.
Meanwhile, in tomorrow’s matches, Albania will take on Switzerland, Wales will play Slovakia at while Russia will take England.
