#3 Half-time substitution by Deschamps does the trick
France manager Didier Deschamps had to respond to going behind and he wasted no time whatsoever, hauling off defensive-midfielder N’Golo Kante (who was booked) and introducing young winger Kingsley Coman. The move worked perfectly, as Coman began stretching the Irish defence with his pace down the right flank. Coman’s introduction also allowed Antoine Griezmann to shift to a more central position alongside Olivier Giroud – a partnership which was instrumental in France’s turnaround.
