Trezeguet (blue) - best of the poor French (Allsport)

By Ken Gaunt, PA Sport

France

Fabien Barthez: The Manchester United goalkeeper would be disappointed with the goal. Mark 6/10

Lilian Thuram: Noted for his attacking tendencies but hardly able to make any surging runs. 5/10

Frank Leboeuf: Solid performance by the former Chelsea star, who tried to drive the team forward. 6/10

Marcel Desailly: Looked surprisingly uncomfortable against the pace of Diouf. 5/10

Bixente Lizarazu: Like Thuram he was solid enough defensively but his attacking options were limited. 5/10.

Patrick Vieira: Worked hard in the centre of the park but struggled to make an impact. 5/10.

Emmanuel Petit: At fault with Senegal's goal and looked out of sorts during the game. 5/10.

Youri Djorkaeff: Saw plenty of the ball but unable to penetrate the Senegal defence. 6/10.

Sylvain Wiltord: His pace got him out of tight situations, although he was mainly anonymous. 5/10

Thierry Henry: Came more into the game in the second half and nearly equalised his shot rattling the bar. 6/10

David Trezeguet: Saw a shot come back off the post and posed France's biggest threat. 7/10.

Subs

Christophe Dugarry (for Djorkaeff 60 mins): Tried hard to get the equaliser but out of luck. 6/10.

Djibril Cisse ( for Wiltord 81 mins): Unable to make an impact 5/10.

Senegal

Tony Sylva: The Monaco back-up goalkeeper rode his luck in the game by continually racing off his line. 6/10.

Ferdinand Coly: Gave an accomplished performance on the right side of the defence. 7/10.

Aliou Cisse: Strong and sound but sometimes his challenges were a bit reckless. 6/10.

Lamine Diatta: Made it a frustrating time for Henry and Wiltord with his good positioning. 6/10.

Omar Daf: A willing worker who stood his ground despite being under constant pressure in the second half. 6/10.

Moussa Ndiaye : Found it hard to get into the game, although he refused to hide. 5/10.

Salif Diao: The Liverpool target enjoyed the big stage and fought for every ball. 7/10.

Papa Bouba Diop: Stunned the French by opening the scoring to create a little bit of history. 7/10.
