Match overview
Hosts France preserved their perfect start as Petit’s tidy finish edged a lively encounter. Both sides rotated yet produced flowing football, Colina awarding penalties each way. Denmark still advanced courtesy of earlier results, while Les Bleus marched on towards ultimate glory.
Trivia
Thierry Henry became the first French player born in the 1970s to appear at a home World Cup. The contest also marked the only occasion brothers Michael and Brian Laudrup shared the scoresheet in the same tournament match.
