Guela Dou haunted his brother's national team as he scored once and set up the winner to fireIvory Coastto a shock 2-1 comeback victory overFrancein aWorld Cupwarm-up match in Nantes on Thursday.
The 23-year-old Strasbourg defender, older brother of France and Paris St Germain forward Dsir Dou, cancelled out Rayan Cherki's sublime opener shortly after halftime before delivering the cross that Amad Diallo converted for the winner, earning the Elephants a first-ever victory overLes Bleus.
France appeared comfortably in control after an encouraging first-half display and led through Cherki's moment of brilliance, butDidier Deschamps's side unravelled after the break as Ivory Coast punished a series of defensive lapses.
