Match overview
An even contest produced goals at either end of the second half. Youri Djorkaeff volleyed France ahead three minutes after the interval, but Spain pressed and levelled late when Caminero steered Julio Salinas’ cut-back beyond Bernard Lama. The draw preserved long unbeaten runs for both nations and kept Group B finely poised.
Trivia
Caminero’s equaliser maintained Spain’s 18-match unbeaten streak, while France extended theirs to twenty-five, the longest active sequence in European international football at the time.
