UEFA Nations League match report France v Croatia 13 June 2022

Les Bleus made wholesale changes from the draw against Austria, as Kylian Mbappe was recalled to partner Karim Benzema upfront while Croatia brought back skipper Luka Modric.

Modric stepped up to take the spot-kick for the visitors and drilled a low strike into the bottom corner, beyond the reach of the out-stretched goalkeeper Mike Maignan. France gained confidence knocking the ball around after the half-hour mark but the Chequered Ones were happy to stay compact and limited their chances in the last third as they took a narrow lead to the half-time break.Deschamps made a double change at halftime as Aurelien Tchouameni replaced Kamara for fresh legs in midfield while Benjamin Pavard came on for Jules Kounde who was unsettled at right-back.

The Bafana curse continues

'narrow'?

zizou mustn't rush to take PSG job! it seems Didier Deschamps will not be coaching les bleus in Qatar later this year.
