France Defeat Bahrain 6-1 in Final Game at 2017 Toulon Tournament

Hosts France ended their 2017 Toulon Tournament on a high note after defeating Bahrain 6-1 at the Stade de Lattre-de-Tassigny in Aubagne on Monday as they cemented a third-place finish in Group B.

Arnaud Nordin gave Les Bleus the lead after just five minutes, only for Abdulaziz Khalid to hand Bahrain a leveller 15 minutes later. Jean-Philippe Mateta, Yanis Barka and Derick Osei Yaw scored in the second period while substitute Bilal Boutobba grabbed a brace to decide France as clear victors.

Ivory Coast confirmed their status as Group B winners earlier on Monday following a 2-2 draw against runners-up Wales, with both those teams ending their pool phase at the Toulon Tournament unbeaten.
