The French team, with a reshuffled workforce, easily dominated South Africa (5-0) in its second friendly match of March, Tuesday in Lille, with in particular the 48th goal of Olivier Giroud, second top scorer of the Blues three lengths from Thierry Henry's record.
The AC Milan striker, already a scorer on Friday against Côte d'Ivoire, added a unit to his counter (34th) between two goals from Kylian Mbappé (23rd, 76th), before the final achievements of incoming Wissam Ben Yedder (82nd) and Mattéo Guendouzi (90th +2).
During this match, Olivier Giroud scored his 48th goal for the France team, returning to three lengths from the record holder Thierry Henry, Tuesday in Lille in a friendly against South Africa.
The AC Milan striker, recalled after Karim Benzema's injury package, continues to chase Henry's record, author of 51 goals in the blue jersey.
Holder against the Ivorians (2-1) Friday in Marseille for his first game in Blue since the Euro, Giroud had already returned to goal, equalizing with a header.
He was renewed four days later by Didier Deschamps, at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, and scored the 2-0 goal in the 33rd minute on a service from Antoine Griezmann.
