The match: 4‘: France, needing their first win at the FIFA World Cup™ since the 1998 Final to hope for survival, made a positive start. David Trezeguet had the first shot after the ball broke to him just inside the area off Thierry Henry, but it flashed wide.
14‘: Henry played in Ribery behind the Togolese defence and he squared the ball to Trezeguet, who placed it into the net, but an offside flag had been raised against him.
21‘: Trezeguet continued his promising linkup play with Ribery, playing a neat one-two with him before side-footing a weak attempt at Agassa, who was worked harder by a Mikael Silvestre shot soon afterwards.
28‘: Moustapha Salifou fired a shot through the legs of Lilian Thuram and Barthez did well to block it after seeing it late. When the ball was sent straight downfield, Ribery found himself in a glorious position but lacked composure as he blasted the chance high over the bar.
48‘: Ribery played a well-worked free-kick to Trezeguet, who made an intelligent darting run across the box but his shot was partially blocked by Togo captain Jean-Paul Abalo and it went out for a corner.
53‘: Henry’s backheel released Malouda, who in turn fed it to Ribery, but he still could not find the breakthrough and French desperation was visibly growing.
55‘: The impressive Ribery once again jinked at the Togo defence and passed to Patrick Vieira and the French captain celebrated his 30th birthday by spinning around and firing a right-footed shot in the corner, sparking great relief among the French players, staff and supporters (0-1).
