It seemed like a matter of time for Giroud to reach this milestone, but the timing couldn't have been better for the French National Team.
France struggled during the first half against Poland, coming close at one point to conceding the opener for the Polish side, but when things seemed to be approaching its end in the first half, Olivier Giroud saw the light and helped Les Bleus with a decisive striker.
The player had already missed an open goal chance after a cross by Ousmané Dembelé, but this time, the player did not waste the opportunity to score his third goal of the competition and 52nd for Les Bleus.
