Ahead of the match, taking place in Dusseldorf, Austria and France fans congregated in a beer garden.
And they engaged in some jovial joking around as an Austrian supporter broke a baguette – synonymous with France – in front of Les Bleus fans.
The video gathered a huge amount of attention on social media hours before the game.
One user replied: “I’ve never been so politely offended.”
While another added: “Man I love football 
.”
A third responded: “That’s worse than stepping on the flag 
.”
And a fourth said: “I can confirm that the food war has officially begun 
.”
The gesture comes 48 hours after Albanian fans snapped spaghetti in front of a crowd of Italians ahead of their group-stage clash.
