Second-ranked France had the better of a the game but the 49th-ranked Canadians coolly dealt with their attacks and had their own spells of possession
France's forward Kylian Mbappe fights for the ball during the International friendly football match between France and Canada at the Matmut Atlantique stadium in Bordeaux, on June 9. Canada , looking poised and organized, held second-ranked France to a scoreless draw in a high-profile men’s soccer friendly Sunday.
Sunday’s game played out before a lively crowd at the 42,00-capacity Stade Matmut Atlantique, home to Girondins de Bordeaux which plays in the French second tier. Marsch made just one change to the starting 11 that started against the Dutch with Crepeau replacing Dayne St. Clair in goal. Deschamps made four changes to his starting 11. The 37-year-old Olivier Giroud, who will join Los Angeles FC this summer, led the attack with Mbappe starting on the bench and captained the side.
Ismael Kone had a shot at the French goal in the 31st from outside the penalty box but fired it wide. Davies and Millar combined well down the Canadian left flank.
