Olivier Giroud and Alexandre Lacazette seal win for France

France beat Denmark 2-0 thanks to first-half goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexandre Lacazette.

Goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexandre Lacazette gave France a 2-0 win over Denmark in a friendly this evening.

Lyon striker Lacazette opened the scoring on 14 minutes when he tapped home after Kasper Schmeichel parried Antoine Griezmann's shot into his path.

Lacazette almost doubled his account before the half-hour mark, but Schmeichel was equal to the effort as the hosts poured the pressure on.

Arsenal forward Giroud made it 2-0 on 38 minutes when he finished smartly after good play from Geoffrey Kondogbia in the build-up.

After the break, Christian Eriksen almost got the Danes back into it, but his goalbound effort was well saved by France goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier.

Laurent Koscielny was denied a chance to make it 3-0 when his first effort was blocked from Mathieu Valbuena's corner but the Arsenal defender's second attempt was off target.

Neither side could add to the scores in the closing stages of the match as Euro 2016 hosts France bounced back from defeat to Brazil on Thursday with a comfortable win.
