France were defeated by Belarus in Laurent Blanc's first match incharge of the national team. Blanc welcomed back nine players from Les Bleus' disastrous World Cup campaign after he had suspended them for a friendly in Norway last month.

But they could do nothing to prevent Belarus sub Sergei Kislyak from netting the winner with four minutes left.

His goal came from the visitors' only clear-cut chance in the Euro 2012 qualifier at Stade de France.
