Indeed, France secured a convincing victory over the Netherlands (2-0) in the friendly match as part of FIFA Day. Karim Benzema found the back of the net to open the scoring for the Blues after a well-crafted offensive move. Blaise Matuidi then doubled the lead with an impressive acrobatic finish.
However, amidst the triumph, there was a moment of concern for the French side. Patrice Evra endured a heavy blow to the face from Quincy Promes early in the match. Despite the impact leaving him momentarily stunned, Evra showed resilience and managed to compose himself for the remainder of the game. Surprisingly, Promes escaped without receiving any disciplinary action for the challenge.
