Outstanding performance
France•MidfielderFrance dominated this international friendly with a clinical first-half display that effectively killed the contest before the break. Désiré Doué emerged as the star performer, opening the scoring on 29 minutes before completing his brace just after the restart to put the match beyond Colombia's reach. Marcus Thuram provided the crucial second goal just before halftime, capitalizing on France's sustained pressure. Despite Colombia's mass substitutions at the interval and a late consolation from substitute Jáminton Campaz, France controlled proceedings throughout and used the opportunity to give valuable minutes to their squad players, including introducing Kylian Mbappé for the final stages.
