Turqua vs Francia: France stunned by Turkey

Posted by Sebrina Pilcher on Friday, May 31, 2024

Turkey brought World Cup-winners France crashing back down to earth on Saturday night as they beat Didier Deschamps' side 2-0 in Konya.

France were completely overwhelmed by their hosts, and only Hugo Lloris ended the evening with any credit.

Lucas Hernandez and N'Golo Kante were missing, but star names like Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba didn't take control of things as they would have expected to.

Turkey's opener came from a set piece that was met by Kaan Ayhan before Cengiz Under rounded off the scoring with a good goal after capitalising on a Samuel Umtiti error.

Both came before half-time, but France had no answers in the second periodand Turkey now top Group H with nine points from nine ahead of Les Blues in second on six from their three games.
