The French team played in Croatia, Split, on the occasion of
quarter -first leg of the League of Nations. From the start of the meeting, the locals obtained a penalty, following a hand of Konaté in the surface. After complaining about a laser targeting his face, the tricolor goalkeeper diverted Kramaric's attempt (8th) from the leg.
Shortly before half an hour of play, Budimir opened the scoring by cutting a center of a powerful head (1-0, 26th). Just before half-time, Perisic allowed the team with a red and white checkered jersey to make the station wagon, with a recovery of the right foot (45th+1). Didier Deschamps' men returned to the Vestaire after a poor first period, with two goals behind on the display board.
Blues with a little shiny face
In the second half, the Blues haussed their level of play a little. Not enough, however, to start their delay. Dembélé was not far from reducing the scoring but met his strike too much (59th). Deschamps used almost all of his offensive cartridges with his changes. In vain.
Kylian Mbappé And his teammates will try to take their revenge on Sunday evening, at Stade France, during the quarter -finals return from the League of Nations. If they manage to integrate the last square, they will play a dry match during the semi-finals which will take place on June 4 and 5, then the small and the grand final on June 8.
