Spain Beat France 2-0 in Friendly
Spain Beat France 2-0 in Friendly
Paris - Arab Today
David Silva and Gerard Deulofeu scored second-half goals to secure a 2-0 victory for Spain in a keenly contested friendly match with France on Tuesday.
The two players came off the bench to make the difference. The match was notable for the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for offside. The technology helped correctly rule out Antoine Griezmann's goal for France. It also confirmed Deulofeu's goal for Spain as a legitimate one.
Both teams named strong starting XIs for the encounter, with France handing a first start to rising Monaco star Kylian Mbappe and a debut for Corentin Tolisso, while the visitors made only four changes to the side that started the 4-1 World Cup qualifying win over Israel last Friday.
Mbappe and Spain captain Andres Iniesta came closest to opening the scoring before Griezmann saw a header ruled out early in the second half after the referee consulted with the VAR, which was first used in an international match in France's 3-1 friendly win over Italy last September.
