Austria 3-1 France: Domenech under pressure

VIENNA, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Austria started their qualifying

campaign for the 2010 World Cup in style with a shock 3-1

victory over France in Group Seven on Saturday.

Forward Marc Janko deflected a long-range free kick by

captain Andreas Ivanschitz to open the scoring on eight minutes

and midfielder Rene Aufhauser deflected another set piece by

Ivanschitz to double the advantage shortly before the break.

France winger Sidney Govou reduced the arrears just after

the hour, collecting a Patrice Evra cross with his back to the

goal and turning around to score from six metres, but France

could not escape their first defeat by Austria in 38 years.

Ivanschitz sealed Austria's first win over France since a

1-0 victory in 1970 from a penalty on 72 minutes after Janko had

been brought down in the box by defender Philippe Mexes.
