Zidane back for France

France 0 Denmark 0

Zinedine Zidane was back for France, and how Les Bleus needed his presence, requiring as they did a victory by two clear goals to stop the Danes going through to the next round in their place.

France were without Thierry Henry and Emmanuel Petit, who were suspended, and also missing the injured Frank Leboeuf.

Denmark coach Morten Olsen fielded a defensive line-up with Jon Dahl Tomasson the only striker, and a five-man midfield.
