MN – Maignan’s report card against Austria: providential, the intervention on Baumgartner is a phenomenon
The report card edited by MilanNews.it by Mike Maignan: rating 7: “Football is made of sliding doors. What would have happened if his exit on Baumgartner had not been effective? Wober’s own goal certainly would not have come two minutes later to break the deadlock (also because the referee did not award the corner to the Austrians on the goalkeeper’s rebound…). 1-0 for France increases the specific weight of the feat. He risks his safety in the second half to neutralize Baumgartner. Very good first in a great tournament with the national team.”
