Decisive Mike Maignan

However, Stefano Pioli's men were badly embarked.

More offensive (nine shots, five on target in the first period), the Interistes opened the scoring from a corner, thanks to Ivan Perisic (39th) and could also have worsened the score several times.

But whether it was the Croatian (11th, 51st), or even Barella (25th) and Dumfries (28th), none managed to deceive the vigilance of a great Mike Maignan (four stops).

And of course, they were punished.

Following a missed shot from Brahim Diaz, Olivier Giroud, on the lookout, pulled away to equalize with the tip of his left foot (75th).

Remobilized, the French put on the hero's costume, delivering his team only five minutes later.

On a cross from Calabria, the former Montpellier striker eliminated Stefan De Vrij and scored the winning goal (79th).

He thus knew how to take advantage of the absence of Ibrahimovic This double allows him to relaunch and to make forget as best he can Zlatan Ibrahimovic, injured.

For his part, Théo Hernandez was sent off at the end of the match following a bad tackle on Denzel Dumfries (90+5).
