Team : France vs Chile
Competition : International Friendly
Nicolas Cordova made France pay for their profligacy as his 77th-minute equaliser earned Chile a draw in Montpellier.
Laurent Blanc's side, still in a state of rebuilding following last year's farcical World Cup showing under Raymond Domenech, had led through Loic Remy.
But they wasted numerous chances to wrap up the win and were made to pay when Cordova netted with 13 minutes remaining.
An entertaining start saw plenty of craft from both sides.
First Karim Benzema fired wide from 20 yards before Chile's Luis Jimenez was similarly ambitious from even further out.
Remy hit a 25-yard effort wide in the 12th minute before team-mate Marvin Martin continued the theme with an off-target attempt of his own.
The opening goal came in the 20th minute as Benzema showed endeavour down the left before centring for Remy to nod home past Claudio Bravo.
Chile looked to respond as playmaker Jorge Valdivia fired over the bar and Arturo Vidal also smashed one over.
Benzema was then denied by Bravo and Valdivia was off target yet again.
