France demonstrated a solid performance in their World Cup qualifier against Georgia, securing a 3-1 victory. The Blues, under the guidance of coach Didier Deschamps, showcased a vibrant style of play with a focus on speed on the wings and effective teamwork, particularly between the midfielders Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi.
Olivier Giroud opened the scoring just before halftime, giving France a 1-0 lead. After the break, Mathieu Valbuena extended the lead with a goal in the 47th minute, and he later provided an assist for Franck Ribery to score France’s third goal in the 61st minute.
Ribery, in particular, had an outstanding performance with three goals and six assists before being substituted for Loic Remy. Moussa Sissoko also entered the game, replacing Matuidi, as both players were preserved to avoid potential suspensions ahead of the upcoming match against Spain on March 26.
Despite some missed opportunities by Karim Benzema, the French team maintained control of the game. Ribery eventually made way for Jérémy Menez as France secured a crucial victory in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
