Amad Diallo scored a late winner as Ivory Coast stunned France 2-1 in a World Cup warm-up match in Nantes on Thursday.

France captain Kylian Mbappe had been hoping to break Olivier Giroud's record of 57 goals for Les Bleus but had a fruitless evening and was replaced by head coach Didier Deschamps at half-time.

Rayan Cherki had given France the lead in the last minute of the first half, but Guela Doue equalised on 53 minutes, and Diallo gave the Elephants victory with an instinctive finish six minutes from time.
