France continued their preparations for Euro 2016 by claiming a 2-0 victory over Germany at the Stade de France.
Neither team were able to control the match for long spells, but it was the hosts who took a lead into the break when Olivier Giroud fired home in first-half stoppage time.
Germany created the better chances in the second half as they searched for an equaliser, before France wrapped up the win when Andre-Pierre Gignac headed in from Blaise Matuidi's cross on a night when the match was overshadowed by the attacks which took place across Paris.

1 - The last time Germany was behind at halftime was in September 2014 vs. Argentina (0-2, 2-4 in the end), the last match of Gomez. Omen.
