Saha Nets On France Debut
Manchester United's new signing Louis Saha got his French career off the mark in style by scoring on his debut for les Bleus against Belgium in Brussels.

The match ended in a 2-0 victory for Jacques Santini's outfit  as they look to defend their European Championship title in Portugal in the summer.

Mikael Silvestre also featured in the match and got substituted after Sidney Govou's tap-in into an open goal due to a goalkeeping mistake by the Belgian 'keeper after failing to stop a Saha shot on the stroke of half-time.

After a string of substitutions by France, Louis Saha opened his France account from a great pass by World Player Of The Year Zinedine Zidane. Saha went one-on-one Frederic Herpoel and slotted the ball home.
