Led and pushed for a long time, the France Espoirs team snatched a draw (2-2) against Germany this Tuesday evening in a friendly match.
As against Italy last Friday, the French Espoirs obtained a courageous draw (2-2) against Germany after being led 2-0, this Tuesday in Valenciennes in a friendly preparation match for Euro 2025.
Dominated for a large part of the match, the Bleuets scored a draw in stoppage time with a strike from Lazio striker Loum Tchaouna (90th + 3), on an action started by Lyonnais Rayan Cherki.
A big turnover
For this last outing of the year, the selection largely reworked by Gérald Baticle suffered the assaults of the young Germans undefeated for twelve matches and June 2023, who broke away at the start of each period thanks to a double from the Dortmund striker Alexander Beier (5th, 50th).
The Bleuets, more enterprising after the restart, reduced the score on a penalty converted by Bayern Munich player Mathys Tel (62nd) before pushing and being rewarded in the final moments.
Deprived of many major players but led by Ryan Cherki, the France team had already won a very encouraging draw in Italy (2-2) on Friday in Empoli. After a defeat at home against Austria (2-1), on October 15 in Nancy, Gérald Baticle's troops raised their heads for their last two matches of the year with a view to the Euro, which will have place in Slovakia from June 11 to 28, 2025. The French Espoirs are qualified after taking 2nd place in their group behind Slovenia.
