The alternate angles are no kinder to Augustin, who stepped up to the spot after slick-passing Nantes youngster Amine Harit was controversially brought down in the area.

Augustin went on to score twice as the French went top of Group E with two wins in two matches, as the 19-year-old is joint-top with three goals scored in the tournament.
