In Nantes, Didier Deschamps’ team fell 2-1 to Ivory Coast in an international friendly and raised some doubts less than two weeks before their World Cup debut.

Les Bleus had taken the lead near the end of the first half thanks to a superb finish from Rayan Cherki. However, the Ivorians responded in the second half: Guéla Doué equalized in the 52nd minute, and Amad Diallo completed the comeback with seven minutes remaining to give the African side the win.
