France's late, late show
By Nigel Gould
France left it late in Marseille last night …
But the Euro finals hosts eventually beat Albania 2-0 in added time – to progress to the last 16.
That made it two wins out of two for the French – with player of the tournament so far, Dimitri Payet, grabbing his second goal.
Antoine Griezmann scored first on the 90th minute – after Albania, playing in their first Euros, had threatened the French goal.
Defeat was harsh.
They had put up a brave fight for most of the game and deserved at least a point.
Albania, who lost their opening game against Switzerland, must beat Romania on Sunday to stand any chance of qualifying.
