10:34 p.m. It’s the end of this live, thank you for having followed it on our site and good evening!
10:33 p.m. The France Espoirs team largely won against a very weak Northern Ireland (5-0). Les Bleuets initially lacked a little dynamism, but completely changed their face when the usual starters entered.
91st (5-0). McCausland tries his luck again, but it is captured by Bajic and the referee whistles the end of this meeting!
Friendly matches
Great first for Saliba and Clauss, a doubt in attack: the probable composition of the Blues
2 HOURS AGO
90e (5-0). Gusto accelerates to the right and tries a cross-shot that crosses the box without being cut.
87e (5-0). Even Lukeba, central defender, tries to join the party by projecting himself. His curling shot from the left is picked up by Berry.
85e (5-0). Ooh The Fairy! The Lorient strikes from the left at 20 meters. His heavy attempt is slightly deflected on the bar!
83e (5-0). Les Bleuets run more calmly, and that will not displease their opponents.
80e (5-0). Ngoumou is served by Gouiri on the right of the surface and crosses his shot too much, but he is signaled offside anyway.
79e (5-0). Ripoll’s men insisted and Ngoumou then Gouiri came up against a defender and Berry.
78e (5-0). It’s a real demonstration since Sylvain Ripoll launched new blood. The Northern Irish were not already at the level against a second team, they totally exploded against the usual holders.
76th (5-0). BLUEBERRY GOAL! The festival continues! Northern Ireland, finally in the French camp, shoot themselves in the foot with an uncertain back pass. The French explode on the counter and Gouiri shifts Ngoumou, whose cross finds Kalimuendo. The Lensois controls the chest then sends an unbalanced half-volley into the opposite side netting! Wonderful.
73e (4-0). Baggley replaces McGovern in the wake of this new goal.
72nd (4-0). GOAL OF FRANCE! One more… and one more incoming! Served by his Lyon teammate Gusto, Caqueret strikes low with the left, his bad foot, and deceives Berry from 20 meters!
71e (3-0). The French continue to push. Diop tries a shot which is countered, then the center of Ngoumou, well offset by Caqueret, is pushed back by Berry.
70e (3-0). Timid reaction from the visitors with a shot from the left of McCausland which ends up wide.
69e (3-0). Caqueret replaces Chotard in the midfield. Kalimuendo takes the place of Rutter, and Truffert that of Larouci.
68e (3-0). What a contribution of incoming in just a few minutes. Diop and Gouiri gave real momentum to their partners, who were playing too quietly.
66th (3-0). ANOTHER BLUEBERRY GOAL! Diop, again, serves Gouiri, who turns around easily at 25 meters and crashes into the box, where his cross shot leaves Berry no chance!
65th (2-0). GOAL OF FRANCE! Diop starts from the left side and makes a long one-two with Le Fée, before stinging his ball perfectly above Berry in the area. It’s technically very clean!
63e (1-0). McCann replaces Charles for Northern Ireland.
62e (1-0). It was the turn of the Bleuets to obtain a corner hit by Le Fée at the far post. Hampered by a defender, Gouiri misses the ball.
62e (1-0). Bajic wins in the air on the corner that follows.
61e (1-0). Taylor takes his chance in a difficult position in the box. Bajic fails to capture and concedes a corner.
60e (1-0). The entrants stand out: Diop enters the area to serve Gouiri, who is moved in the shoulder and collapses. The referee does not whistle, the intervention was clean.
58e (1-0). Three changes for the France team: Kalulu, Thuram and Camavinga leave, Omari, Diop and Gouiri enter.
57e (1-0). The Habs still play at a relatively leisurely pace. The Fairy tries to put some movement with a series of dribbles, but it is caught in the box.
54e (1-0). Excellent depth management from Kalulu, who wins his duel against McGovern.
51e (1-0). Les Bleuets fix on the left and overthrow on the right side, where Gusto strikes to serve Ngoumou. The latter accelerates in turn and returns to his left foot to unleash a shot that clearly flees the frame.
49e (1-0). Another big job from Larouci on the left, where he is very active. But his center is clear.
47e (1-0). Thuram has space on the left, where he is launched in first intention. But he decides to temporize to return to his right foot, and his center is countered.
46th (1-0). It’s back to Calais! Northern Ireland made three substitutions at the break.
21h46. The players return to the pitch.
21h32. The France Espoirs team lead at the break against Northern Ireland after a quiet first act and a lucky goal from Yasser Larouci.
45th+1 (1-0). It’s halftime!
45th (1-0). Nice one-two between Ngoumou and Larouci, whose cross then lacks precision to find Rutter.
44e (1-0). Rutter continues to fight and be interesting with his back to the game, but still loses a lot of balls.
42e (1-0). The Northern Irishmen show absolutely no ball. Very difficult match for the visitors.
40e (1-0). Rutter tries to go in power in front of Balmer, but it is the Northern Irish defender who emerges victorious from this duel.
38e (1-0). Rutter is found in the air again, this time by Gusto. But the Hoffenheim striker is again in a difficult position and his header crosses the surface.
37e (1-0). Ngoumou and Rutter combine well with a one-two then a cross from the second for the first, who cannot fit his header in a difficult position.
35e (1-0). All is well for Ngoumou, who got up quickly… and who is even launched on the right. But no one pounces on his cross in front of goal.
33e (1-0). Donnelly is booked for a violent tackle from behind on Ngoumou. It was an obvious red but the referee ruled otherwise.
31e (1-0). Another fake strike from Le Fée, who takes advantage of the naivety of the opposing defenders. The Lorient serves Ngoumou, whose center is pushed back by Berry.
29e (1-0). Small drop in rhythm at the heart of this first period. Northern Ireland and its five-man defense struggle to be dangerous.
26th (1-0). Les Bleuets temporize after putting pressure on the heels of the opener.
24e (1-0). Good work from Le Fée, who crosses from the right side. Deflected, the ball arrives at Ngoumou, who lacks balance to frame his half-volley.
23e (1-0). Still no big chance but a goal for the men of Ripoll, who will try to let go even more.
21st (1-0). BLUEBERRY GOAL! Served on the left, Larouci provokes Cousin-Dawson and enters the area where he tries to cross. But his ball ends up, successfully, directly in the back of the net, lobbing Berry!
18th (0-0). Watch out! On the corner that follows, Bajic imposes himself with a good reflex on the ground on a header from Balmer, before Chotard pushes back a very hot ball from McGovern on his line! The biggest opportunity of this beginning of the meeting.
18e (0-0). Dangerous ball loss from Gusto, who steps on the ball in the box. Scott tries to take advantage of it to roll up a shot but Lukeba counters his attempt.
16e (0-0). Larouci works on the left side to obtain a corner. It’s hit coming in by Le Fée but repelled by Dawson. Chotard is on the lookout and sends his strike into the clouds.
14th (0-0). The opportunity for Blueberries! The Fairy combines well with Rutter and strikes from the left from a tight angle. It is pushed back by the doorman but Rutter followed and is countered by a defender.
13e (0-0). Precious return from Chotard, who recovers the ball after a dangerous ball loss from Kalulu. Scott couldn’t serve his partner in the box.
12e (0-0). Another strike from Thuram, which does not find the target. The Niçois is very enterprising but will have to settle.
11e (0-0). Excellent ball from Gusto for Ngoumou in depth. The latter crosses back towards Chotard but Smyth comes back to intercept the ball in the box.
10e (0-0). Thuram has space and tries his luck again, this time from the left. It’s crushed and the opposing goalkeeper controls this ball in two stages.
9e (0-0). Larouci’s turn to make a good defensive effort. The Habs are serious, but it lacks madness for the moment.
7e (0-0). Another too long control from Rutter, who had been well served in the back of the defense.
6e (0-0). Good pressing from Gusto which allows Chotard to recover the ball on the visitors’ first real possession.
4e (0-0). Very nice technical sequence from Thuram, who then forces a shot from the right which flies away.
3e (0-0). Les Bleuets have the ball, unsurprisingly, and are running it quietly for the moment.
1e (0-0). Rutter misses his first backside control after a good pass from Kalulu to break the lines.
