Antoine Griezmann scored one goal and set up another for defender Dayot Upamecano as France staged a repeat of the World Cup final by beating Croatia 4-2 in the Nations League. Griezmann even passed up the chance to double his tally late on by allowing substitute Olivier Giroud to take a penalty for France's fourth goal.

Giroud is just one goal behind Michel Platini's national record, while Upamecano's header was his first. The 21-year-old impressed at center half when Leipzig reached the Champions League semifinals, and headed in Griezmann's corner midway through the second half.
