MATCH 04 REPORT : ZIDANE STRIKES STUN ENGLAND

Two Zinedine Zidane goals in added time at the end of the match gave France an incredible win against England in UEFA EURO 2004™ Group B.

Stunning free-kick
Trailing to Frank Lampard's 38th-minute header, it seemed that the holders would begin their campaign with a disappointing defeat. However, the Real Madrid CF playmaker curled in a free-kick a minute into added time to seemingly rescue a point.

Penalty drama
Moments later Steven Gerrard's misplaced pass set Thierry Henry clear and the French striker was brought down by England goalkeeper David James. Zidane kept his nerve from the spot to cap an incredible turnaround.

Defensive reshuffles
Both lineups revealed enforced defensive changes. In the absence of the banned Rio Ferdinand and the injured John Terry, Ledley King partnered Sol Campbell in the centre of the England defence. Meanwhile, William Gallas came in for his injured Chelsea FC colleague Marcel Desailly, lining up at right-back with Lilian Thuram - making his 100th appearance for France - moving into the centre.
