Match overview
The tournament hosts struck first when centre-back Jan Eriksson headed in Limpar’s corner, but France equalised after the break through Papin’s instinctive finish. Both goalkeepers excelled, Ravelli denying Cantona late on as Sweden launched their campaign with a creditable draw.
Trivia
Eriksson’s goal was Sweden’s first ever in a European Championship finals. Papin’s equaliser made him France’s outright top scorer at that time with 26 goals.
