France 2-0 Denmark
Thierry Henry's fine opener and Sylvain Wiltord's late penalty helped France to a morale-boosting FIFA World Cup warm-up victory.
More convincing
France, against opponents who failed to qualify for next month's finals in Germany, were more convincing in Lens tonight than in a 1-0 victory over Mexico on Saturday. Henry raced into the box to collect a headed pass from Louis Saha and beat Denmark goalkeeper Jesper Christiansen from close range on 12 minutes. It was his 32nd international goal in his 77th appearance. Wiltord doubled the advantage on 76 minutes after fellow substitute Franck Ribéry was fouled.
