World Cup winners France were stunned by Finland 2-0 in a friendly on Wednesday as the hosts were punished for missing a number of chances.

Premier League quintet Paul Pogba, Olivier Giroud, Moussa Sissoko, Lucas Digne and Kurt Zouma all started for the reigning world champions, and things looked to be going to the script as France carved open the visiting defence early on.

But two goals in three first-half minutes from Brentford’s Marcus Forss and striker Onni Valakari – both of whom were making their international debuts – clinched victory for the visitors, who are ranked 55th in the world.
