Danish super-substitute sunk France | ABC News
The Trabzonspor striker won the match on a powerful shot in the 88th minute. From a sharp angle, he clinked the ball up into the net.
Cornelius was also the man who made the equalizer 20 minutes earlier. He neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to Pierre-Emile Højbjerg who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. The 29-year-old entered the turf at the Stade de France after an hour of waste.
It was the same arena that a short week earlier hosted the Champions League final.
Karim Benzema took France in the lead early after the switch. The Real Madrid star calmly put in 1-0 after fine combinations with substitute Christopher Nkunku.
During the break, Kylian Mbappé was taken out of the French team. Just before the break, the Frenchman grimaced and apparently felt pain.
France did not have national team manager Didier Deschamps on the sidelines on Friday. He lost his father earlier this week and has spent time with his family in recent days. The reigning world champions were instead led by assistant coach Guy Stephan.
The triumph gave Denmark a perfect start to Group 1 in the A-division in the national league. The same went for Ralf Rangnick as the new Austria coach with the whole 3-0 over Croatia away.
Marko Arnautovic, Michael Gregoritsch and Marcel Sabitzer scored the Austrian goals. The last two came three minutes apart early and second inning.
