Giroud rescues French
Sergio Ramos fired the hosts in front the 26th minute but they were left to rue Cesc Fabregas’ missed penalty just before half-time as the visitors took control of the game after the break.
Karim Benzema and Moussa Sissoko looked to have squandered France’s best chances to claim a point as they missed clear openings late on but with the last attack of the game Franck Ribery crossed for Giroud to head low into the far corner.
