Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho endured a frustrating evening as France were overturned 3-1 by Brazil on home soil on Thursday.

It was a repeat of the 1998 World Cup final at the Stade de France in Paris and the centre-back was involved for the entirety of the friendly.

Les Bleus were ahead midway through the first half courtesy of a goal from Raphael Varane, but the joy for Didier Deschamps' side did not last long.

Because the opener provoked Brazil into a flurry - Oscar levelled before the break, then Neymar and Luiz Gustavo claimed a win for the South Americans.

Sakho's Anfield colleague Philippe Coutinho was an unused substitute for Brazil.

Elsewhere, full-back Javier Manquillo played the full game and helped Spain U21s see off the challenge of Norway with a 2-0 result.
