Kylian Mbappe scored a penalty on his return after breaking his nose but Robert Lewandowski's reply meant France and Poland drew 1-1 in their final group game at Euro 2024 on Tuesday.

It was Mbappe's first ever goal at a European Championship, and the first scored by a France player at this year's tournament -- their only prior counter was an own goal by Austria's Maximilian Woeber.
