- Military salute -
Bayern Munich colleagues Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman consolidated wonderfully to discharge Griezmann on the quarter-hour, yet Turkey goalkeeper Mert Gunok blocked well before delivering a radiant spare to repulse Moussa Sissoko's subsequent exertion.
Griezmann then headed a Coman cross straightforwardly at Gunok who dove to one side minutes after the fact after a shrewd sham from the striker made another opening for Sissoko.

Ayhan denied France capability on the night as he planted a pounding header low past Mandanda from a Calhanoglu free-kick. A few Turkish players celebrated with a military salute that UEFA will probably examine.
