France's attacking prowess has been on full display in their recent friendly matches, with the team showcasing their strength in depth in a 3-1 win over Colombia on Sunday. Desire Doue, a Paris Saint-Germain forward, struck twice in the match, with his second goal coming on 56 minutes after being set up by Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram. The win marks France's second triumph in the United States, with the team's coach, Didier Deschamps, making significant changes to his starting lineup for the game.
The match, played at the Washington Commanders' stadium in Landover, Maryland, saw France take the lead after 30 minutes when Doue's low drive was accidentally diverted in by Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz. Thuram doubled France's advantage just before half-time with a headed goal from a cross by Monaco playmaker Maghnes Akliouche. Despite a late substitute appearance by Kylian Mbappe, who remains one goal away from equalling France's all-time scoring record, Colombia managed to pull a goal back through Jaminton Campaz.
