Henry scored again to give France a 1-0 lead, Wiltord scoring the second from the penalty spot in the second half.

The win was greeted with a warmer response from the home crowd than their 1-0 victory over Mexico in Paris last weekend, with cheers of “Allez les Bleus! Allez les Bleus!” replacing the whistles and jeers of the Stade de France.

France coach Raymond Domenech made five substitutions as the 1998 champions prepare their push to reclaim the title they lost four years ago in Germany when they open their FIFA World Cup campaign against Switzerland in Stuttgart on 13 June.

Their final warm-up match is against China in Saint-Etienne on 7 June. “It’s always good to win matches, but you have to remember they are still only friendlies,” said Domenech. “It’s not about the team of all 11 now but the 23. We have to fine tune the team so that they learn to work together as a unit.”

He added: “We still have one match left and after that the breaking-in period will be over and it’s down to business.”
