Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra played the full 90 minutes as France booked their place in the World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory over Nigeria on Monday.
Former Red Devil Paul Pogba was on the scoresheet as the French left it late to beat the African nation.
Pogba had earlier missed a penalty as underdogs Nigeria frustrated France, but a Joseph Yobo own goal in the 90th minute sealed their fate.
In reaching the second round of the competition, France beat Honduras and Switzerland before drawing with Ecuador.
Their quarter-final tie is on Friday at 5pm.
