France 4-1 Australia — xTears 14.45 (22/11/22)
France turned the 4-1 over Australia on 22 November 2022 into a rout during Matchday 1 of the World Cup, although the flow stayed more open than the scoreline suggests. Total damage: 14.45 xTears.
O. Giroud carried much of the damage, with the match first opening through A. Rabiot 27' goal (+1.37 xT); O. Giroud 32' goal (+1.41 xT) then widened it further.
There was an early scare for France, but the response ended up stretching the match far beyond that opening punch.
