France coach Didier Deschamps used a 4-2-3-1 formation against Northern Ireland with stars like Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Desiree Duy in an attack. However, Michael Oliseh, who had a great season, outshone everyone.

The French took the first lead in the 43rd minute of the match with Oliseh's goal. The Bayern Munich right winger doubled the lead in the 49th minute. However, Northern Ireland's Patrick Kelly equalized in the 64th minute. But Oliseh's magic was still there. He completed his hat-trick in the 75th minute to secure France's 3-1 victory.

It is worth noting that France will start their World Cup mission with a match against Senegal on June 17.
