Internationals: Michael Olise and Luis Díaz in head-to-head

Colombia vs. France, or: Luis Díaz vs. Michael Olise! The two Bayern wingers faced off with their national teams in Maryland on Sunday in a friendly in World Cup host country USA. Luis Díaz was started for the Colombians' and was taken off after 63 minutes, while Olise came off the bench for Rayan Cherki on 78 minutes. FCB defender Dayot Upamecano was absent from the Équipe Tricolore  squad following his red card in the first friendly against Brazil (2-1).

France coach Didier Deschamps made no less than 11 changes to the starting XI in the clash between the two World Cup participants compared to the friendly win against Brazil - but the new-look side also impressed in every respect. After a strong start by the Colombians, who had a good chance to take the lead through Lucho Díaz (5th minute), the French struck back with great efficiency. Désiré Doué (29') and Marcus Thuram (41') gave Les Bleus a 2-0 half-time lead. Los Cafeteros dictated the play again after the break, but it was the Europeans who continued to score: Doué increased the lead to 3-0 (56') after an assist from former Bundesliga player Thuram. Jaminton Campaz came off the bench to get a consolation goal for Colombia (77') in the French side's 3-1 win.

Next up for France, finalists at the last two World Cup tournaments, will be Côte d'Ivoire, one of Germany's opponents in the World Cup group stage, on 4 June. This was Colombia's second defeat of this international break after a 2-1 loss to Croatia. Díaz & Co. are scheduled to play a friendly against Costa Rica on 29 May.
