The San Francisco 49ers hold a 10-7 lead over the Los Angeles Rams in the second quarter of their Week 1 matchup in Australia. The 49ers took the lead with 4:28 remaining in the first half following a 39-yard touchdown reception by Demarcus Robinson from Brock Purdy. The scoring drive spanned 86 yards over nine plays and was set up by an interception from Renardo Green off Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. The game remains in progress. The 49ers offensive drive was impacted by the loss of rookie De'Zhaun Stribling, who was carted off the field during the same possession.
