Manchester United forward Amad Diallo struck deep into stoppage time to seal a stunning 2-1 victory for Ivory Coast over France in a World Cup warm-up fixture played in Nantes.

France, who fielded a heavily rotated lineup for the friendly, were unable to hold on as Amad's late intervention handed the Elephants a result that few saw coming against Les Bleus.

The result will serve as a significant confidence boost for Ivory Coast heading into their preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2026, demonstrating that the Elephants are capable of matching and beating European opposition at the highest level.

Amad, who has been a key figure for Manchester United in recent seasons, delivered when it mattered most — capping a memorable evening for the Ivory Coast faithful with a winner that sent the travelling support into raptures.
