France launched their World Cup preparations with a striking 2-1 win against Brazil, spearheaded by a standout performance from captain Kylian Mbappe. Despite being reduced to 10 men early in the second half, France displayed remarkable resilience and skill.

Mbappe, recovering from recent knee troubles, opened the scoring in the first half. The goal was the result of a quick transition, with Aurelien Tchouameni winning back possession and Ousmane Dembele setting up Mbappe for a calm finish over Ederson. Hugo Ekitike added a second goal after Dayot Upamecano's red card.

Brazil responded with Gleison Bremer's goal, but lacked midfield creativity to overturn the deficit. This victory marks Didier Deschamps's first win over Brazil as a coach, providing key insights into France's readiness ahead of their match against Colombia.
