Euro 2016: The key moments that decided France v Romania

With two minutes left Dimitri Payet of West Ham let rip with an unstoppable rocket into the top corner to deny Romania a draw, and put tournament hosts and favourites France on course for a 2-1 victory to start the tournament. The West Ham man's shot was absolutely picture perfect, and Payet wept openly as he was subbed off after scoring.

A clumsy challenge by Patrice Evra on Bogdan Stancu gave Romania a spot kick in the 65th minute - and Stancu pulled himself up to slot home, sending Hugo Lloris the wrong way.

Olivier Giroud produced a brilliant leap to beat Romania goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu to a Dimiti Payet cross, and glanced the ball goalwards with his head in the 58th minute to put France ahead against a plucky Romanian side. The goal made up for a series of misses from the Arsenal player earlier in the game.

France and Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud missed a few half-chances during the opening 45 minutes - then in the dying seconds of the first period headed over with a genuine opportunity to open the scoring, as he nodded Dimitri Payet's shot over the bar.

Atletico Madrid superstar Atletico Griezmann initially failed to meet a fine 14th-minute cross from Bacary Sagna, but as the defence failed to clear the danger he got his head to the ball - only for it to come back off the upright.

Just six minutes into the opening match France almost let in a goal against Romania, with Nicolae Stanciu's corner falling to striker Bogdan Stancu in the six-yard box. He managed to poke it goalwards, only for Tottenham goalie and France captain Hugo Lloris to hook the ball away from the goal-line.
