One half to observe, one half to punish. Unsettled by a fearless Senegal in the first 45 minutes, France found the tactical keys at half-time to win 3-1.
Deschamps repositioned Olise as a pure central playmaker. In the 66th, Olise found Mbappe in behind for the opener. Barcola, replacing Dembele, chipped beautifully from a Rabiot pass in the 82nd. Mbaye pulled one back in the 90th+5. Mbappe responded with a long-range strike (90th+6).
Pape Thiaw's men must win against Norway in the next matchday.
