Paris attacks: Anthony Martial takes to Twitter after playing in France vs
France avenged their last year’Âs World Cup loss to Germany by beating the world champions 2-0 in Paris in a riveting friendly encounter.
However, it took striker Olivier Giroud until first half compensation time to break the net for France.
The game was overshadowed by several explosions outside the stadium which left the fans inside the arena concerned, although the action continued to its conclusion to an increasingly subdued backdrop. Muller, back to goal sees passes everyone else doesn’t and slips in the Besiktas forward with a attractive reverse pass, and Gomez should do better.
Germany were punished for Gomez’s profligacy thanks to a sparkling piece of play from Martial on the stroke of half-time. Muller hits an unbelievable shot against the post! Matuidi puts in a superb cross from the left and Gignac meets his perfectly, and sends a towering header past Neuer.
FFF president Noel Le Great said in a statement, “The French Football Federation shares the emotion that shakes the nation following the tragic events of Friday in Paris and around the Stade de France”.
Just as much as playing well for Manchester United is important for Martial, having an impact on the global scene is something he’ll want to achieve as well. Took Antonio Rudiger and Matthias Ginter to the cleaners with a few silky skill for the first goal and was a threat throughout.
