Bottles were thrown and French flags were destroyed as the Socceroos went down 4-1 in the opening match.
Thousands of fans woke up for the match, which kicked off at 6am local time.
But early glimmers of hope quickly turned sour.
It’s understood Police have not recieved any complaints but are open to investigating any reports that come through.
