France have beaten Serbia 2-0 in tonight's friendly fixture at the Stade Auguste Delaune in Reims.

The hosts opened the scoring on 11 minutes when Franck Ribery fired in following an error from Serbia goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic.

Les Bleus doubled their lead in spectacular fashion before half time as Florent Malouda lashed home an unstoppable drive from 25 yards.

Branislav Ivanovic nearly pulled a goal back for the visitors when his free kick flew narrowly over the bar, while Laurent Koscielny put his effort into the stands.

Laurent Blanc's side conclude their preparations for Euro 2012 against Estonia on Tuesday.
