NOTES:
After Marcel Desailly gets red carded - The team switches into a 4-4-1, as Lebœuf stays as the team's sole CB, Petit turns into a CWP that joins attacks. The midfielders shift into more defensive roles, as Dugarry keeps as the team's sole CF.

'65 - Cristophe Dugarry in, Stéphane Guivarc'h Out (Dugarry - Plays as a CF)
