France top Denmark
Jun 1, 2006

An early goal by Thierry Henry and a late Sylvain Wiltord penalty gave France a 2-0 win over Denmark in a World Cup warm-up on Thursday. 

France offered a more convincing show than in a laboured 1-0 victory over Mexico on Sunday but looked nervous at times against opponents who failed to qualify for the June 9-July 9 finals in Germany. 

Henry, rested against Mexico, raced into the box to collect a headed pass from fellow striker Louis Saha and beat Denmark goalkeeper Jesper Christiansen from close range on 12 minutes. 

It was Henry's 32nd international goal in his 77th appearance. 

Wiltord doubled the advantage on 76 minutes after fellow substitute Franck Ribery, who thrilled the Lens crowd on his second appearance for France, was brought down in the box.
