Bafana Bafana are in Lille for their international friendly against World champions France, and this is our live match report.

A very frantic start for both sides as both France and Bafana Bafana knock the ball around quickly in an attempt to get the fans excited.

Ronwen Williams pulls off a stunning save to deny Olivier Giroud from inside the Bafana Bafana box, tipping the ball over the crossbar after five minutes.

Kylian Mbappe fires France with a stunning goal from outside the box, leaving Williams with no chance after 23 minutes. 1-0 the scoreline.

France double the lead, and it’s Giroud who beats Williams, much to the delight of Les Bleus fans out in the stands after 33 minutes.

Hugo Broos makes changes to the team that finished the first with Goodman Mosele making his debut for Bafana Bafana.

Giroud is presented with a golden chance to make it 3-0 to France but Williams pulls off another great save to keep Bafana Bafana in the game.

Mbappe is brought down by Siyanda Xulu inside the Bafana Bafana box, and the referee points to the spot.

Mbappe steps up to take the resulting penalty, and he makes no mistake as he completes his brace for the night after 76 minutes.

France are running riot here as Ben Yedder easily nets the home’s fourth goal of the night after the Bafana Bafana defence was cut open.

Minutes later, Khuliso Mudau is shown a red card for a bookable tackle, and this means France have the numerical advantage.
