However, Laurent Blanc's France mounted a sterling comeback and snatched a late victory with second-half strikes from Mathieu Debuchy (52), Franck Ribéry (84) and Adil Rami (87). • The sides at the Stade du Hainaut were: France: Mandanda, Debuchy, Rami, Mexès, Evra, Cabaye (A Diarra 58), Gourcuff (Valbuena 75), Nasri (Malouda 60), Ben Arfa (Giroud 58), Ménez (Ribéry 75), Benzema (Martin 60).
