Mathieu Valbuena marked his debut for France with the winning goal in a 2-1 friendly victory over Costa Rica.
A battling win for Les Bleus will have done little to silence those critics already writing off Raymond Domenech's side ahead of this summer's World Cup.
They fell behind in their latest outing to an early effort from Carlos Hernandez but hit back through Franck Ribery.
It looked for a long time as though an inspired performance from goalkeeper Keylor Navas would secure an unlikely draw for Costa Rica, but Valbuena struck seven minutes from time to spare France's blushes.
