France finished their Euro 2024 Preparations with a goalless draw against Canada in a friendly clash staged in Bordeaux on Sunday evening.
Les Bleus had all of the shots on target but could not break down the Maple Leafs, who enjoyed slightly more of possession in an impressive performance.
In another friendly on Sunday, Italy saw off Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0 in Empoli in a game that saw the Luciano Spalletti men dominate possession but needed an acrobatic volley from Davide Frattesi seven minutes before half time to seal the win after failing to tuck in most of their chances.
The Italians will kick off their quest to retain their EUROs title with a game against another Balkans country, Albania, on Saturday.
In other game, Slovakia prepared for their European Championships opener against Belgium next Monday in perfect fashion, comfortably defeating Wales 3-0 in Trnava.
They opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time just as Wales had grown into the game. The ball came to Juraj Kucka outside the box and his speculative effort went past an unsighted Danny Ward. 11 minutes after the break, Slovakia doubled their lead. David Hancko whipped in a low cross for Robert Boženík to sidefoot home. It was 3-0 and game over four minutes later, Ethan Ampadu deflecting Lukas Haraslin’s volley into his own net.
A fourth was added by Laszlo Bénes in the final minute as the Slovaks enjoyed the dream farewell ahead of the tournament in Germany.
