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.
