France, considered among the Euro 2024 favorites, faced an early setback when they conceded a goal just six minutes into their game against Chile. However, Les Bleus responded emphatically with goals from Youssouf Fofana, Randal Kolo Muani, and Olivier Giroud, eventually winning 3-2. The victory will help alleviate concerns following their recent loss to Germany.
Despite missing several key players, including Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni, France showed their strength in depth. The match saw Jonathan Clauss and Eduardo Camavinga come into the starting lineup, but both had to be substituted due to injuries, raising concerns for their clubs, Marseille and Real Madrid, respectively.
The Chilean side, under new coach Ricardo Gareca, provided a tough challenge for France, with Marcelino Nunez scoring early on. However, France quickly equalized through Fofana before taking the lead with Kolo Muani's header. Giroud added a third goal, marking his 57th international goal and solidifying his position as France's all-time top scorer.
Despite Dario Osorio pulling one back for Chile late in the game, France held on for the win. The result will boost their confidence as they prepare for the European Championship, while Chile will look to build momentum for the upcoming Copa America.
