Hasib Could anyone please suggest a phrase for the part in bold to me to sound more natural? They both sound natural already, but only you know whether they mean what you want to say. France (note that we capitalize countries) was down 2 to 0 at the half, which means they had been kept at bay.

- The expression derives from hunting, where a pack of hunting dogs would face off against a large game animal, keeping it from fleeing by biting at its hind legs if it tried to run, and snapping at it and baying when it stood and faced them while the hunters came up.
- Hounds are said to bay, to make a loud sort of yodeling bark, and the game is said to be "at bay".
