Euro 2008 News :: Euro 2008 Buildup : France 2-0 Ecuador

Posted on 2008-05-28 by Gooner

Debutant Bafetimbi Gomis furthered his claims for inclusion in France's final squad for Euro 2008 by coming off the bench to grab a spectacular double in the friendly win over Ecuador in Grenoble.

The striker crept into an enlarged, 30-man provisional squad for the Euros named by coach Raymond Domenech nine days ago by virtue of his superb goalscoring form for St Etienne in the final weeks of the Ligue 1 season.

He was only given 45 minutes against Ecuador but he lapped up his first taste of international football by firing in from long range on the hour mark and volleying home splendidly in the 86th minute to seal victory for Les Bleus.

Domenech trims his squad down to 23 on Wednesday and he will be hard-pushed to ignore Gomis now, given the 22-year-old's two-goal salvo.
