The victorious French 1998 team played a World XI side in a nostalgic friendly to remember the 10th anniversary of the country’s 1998 World Cup triumph..Emilio Butragueno gave the World XI the lead but Zidane equalled for France.Pedro Pauleta made it 2-1 to the world team and Ludovic Giuly equalised pulled one back for France again.
Croatia’s Davor Suker and Bernard Diomede both scored in the last minute to see the game to a 3-3 finish.The World Cup trophy arrived for the game by helicopter.The occassion was overshadowed by the death of a 10 year old fan who was killed in a road accident on his way to the ground.RIP.
