This month's national team window means friendly matches for most national teams. Yesterday, world champions France played 1 out of 2 of their friendly matches through this window. Didier Deschamps' charges defeated Ivory Coast's national team 2-1 at home. In the first half, DKK footballers took the lead when "Arsenal" forward Pepe scored a precise goal in the 19th minute. Shortly after, Olivier Giroud equalized with a goal three minutes later, approaching Thierry Henry's scoring record in the "Les Blues" national team. France secured the victory only at the very end of the match, during extra time, through "AS Monaco" talent Aurelien Tchouameni. Three new players made their debut in the ranks of the world champions in these matches: Christopher Nkunku, William Saliba, and Jonathan Clauss.
