DHAKA: France has got the better of a new-look Spanish football team with a one-nil victory in their international friendly in Paris on Thursday.

On the other hand, two goals in the first 10 minutes were enough to give Italy a 2-0 friendly victory over World Cup semi-finalists the Netherlands on the day same, reports Radio Sport.

However, media added that France claimed the deserved 1-0 triumph in the international friendly held at Stade de France, when it came out as the first win they've taken over reigning European champions Spain in eight years.

The Euro 2016 hosts, who'll skip qualifications beginning later this month with an automatic berth, scored the only goal through substitute Loic Remy after building on solid organization and purposeful attacking play.

Moreover, Italy scored twice in the opening 10 minutes and defeated 10-man Netherlands 2-0 Thursday in an exhibition game featuring coaches Antonio Conte and Guus Hiddink.

Ciro Immobile scored his first international goal three minutes into the game at San Nicola Stadium. Daniele De Rossi added a penalty kick in the 10th.
