There is always pressure on a host nation to perform, and that was certainly the case for France in their opening 60 minutes against USA in the Olympic football.
Thierry Henry's side struggled to get any kind of foothold on the game, and the US even hit the bar before the deadlock was broken.

And it was the experience of 33-year-old Alexandre Lacazette that became the difference-maker, with a superb solo effort that became France's first goal of their Olympic tournament.
It appeared that his strike opened the floodgates, as new Bayern Munich man Michael Olise netted a second for Les Blues just minutes later.
