Thuram ends drought, Désiré Doué at the double, key numbers from Colombia v France | OneFootball

France's meeting with Colombia delivered several striking milestones for Didier Deschamps' side. L'Équipe highlights a clutch of statistical landmarks from the game.

Les Bleus have won eight of their last nine against South American nations, with one draw.

They have scored at least two in 11 consecutive matches, 29 in total, the second longest run in their history after a 12-match streak from March to August 2000.

Désiré Doué netted his first two France goals on his sixth cap, the first time a player has opened his account with a brace since Thomas Lemar on 31 August 2017 against the Netherlands, 4-0.

Doué is the 10th PSG player to score for France under Deschamps, after Matuidi, Cabaye, Jallet, Kurzawa, Mbappé, Zaïre-Emery, Kolo Muani, Dembélé and Barcola, at least three more than any other club in that period.

Marcus Thuram recorded a goal and an assist for the first time with France, ending a 961-minute wait since 18 November 2023 against Gibraltar, 4-0. He had gone 38 attempts without scoring.

Maghnes Akliouche has three goal involvements in seven France matches, one goal and two assists. Under Deschamps, only Théo Hernandez with five and Anthony Martial with four had more after seven caps.
