Chile clash with DR Congo
With the World Cup days away, many of the teams in action were preparing for the tournament in North America, but that wasn't the case for every match, starting with Indonesia's 1-0 win over Mozambique in Jakarta. Calvin Verdonk (LOSC) started and played ninety minutes for the hosts as a left-sided wingback.
In another friendly played in the French city of Orleans, several players from Ligue 1 McDonald's took part as a Chile side featuring Auxerre's Francisco Sierralta in defence earned a surprise 2-1 win over DR Congo. The Leopards will no doubt have taken the result in stride as they look to the tournament.

Elsewhere, Burkina Faso drew two-all with Belarus, with FC Lorient's Arsรจne Kouassi starting and Lohann Doucet (Dunkerque) making his senior debut.
