Sidney Govou then put the game beyond the hosts with a header from a Pjanic corner that glanced off Peter Czvitkovics's arm before nestling in the bottom-right corner.

Franck Ribery was an early threat down the left and his low cross after seven minutes should have been converted by Govou, while playmaker Yoann Gourcuff had few opportunities to showcase his skills - although he almost caught Fernando Muslera out with a free-kick from a tight angle on 17 minutes.
