Brazil vs France LIVE: Latest updates as two World Cup favourites meet in heavyweight clash

The referee blows the whistle and brings the first half to an end in Foxborough.

Kylian Mbappe has moved to within one goal of France’s all-time goalscoring record and it’s his goal that has France in the lead at the break.

It’s been a remarkably entertaining game for a friendly, so we’ll hope for more of the same at the Gillette Stadium!

It’s become fairly stop-start as France look to close out the half, and Gusto does well to win a free-kick from Raphinha.

Into the first of three minutes of added time at the Gillette Stadium.

Great build-up again from France as Dembele finds Olise in the box. The Bayern winger turns and picks out Mbappe on the left flank, but the Madrid man curls an effort well wide.

Chances for Brazil! Firstly, Rabiot is back well as the last man to clip away Vini Jr’s through ball before Cunha could volley it in.

Casemiro then heads over at the far post from the corner.

Brazil think they should have a free-kick as Wesley is clipped near the box, before Casemiro drags his own shot wide from distance.

The Brazil captain is then booked for remonstrating with the referee.

More lovely football from France. They work it well on the edge of the box before Tchouameni slides in a pass to Mbappe.

He takes a first-time shot on the swivel but it’s wide of the far post.

Half a chance to reply right away as Cunha lines up an effort from distance, but he curls it wide.

Moments earlier, Hernandez had a decent opening near the edge of the box but he dragged an effort wide when he probably should have passed.

GOAL! Oh wow! Out of nowhere, France show exactly why they’re one of the favourites for this summer’s World Cup.

They win the ball high and within an instant Dembele slides it through to Mbappe, who has far too much pace for Bremer and Pereira.

He races clean through before chipping a lovely finish that leaves Ederson in no man’s land.

First yellow of the day as Leo Pereira goes flying in late on Olise. It’s a free-kick around 25 yards out on the wing, but it’s headed away before Ekitike is unable to control Dembele’s follow-up cross.
