There were seven Premier League players in France's starting line-up, including first starts for Bacary Sagna and Laurent Koscielny, plus Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin. France had a series of half-chances - Antoine Griezmann was a yard wide with a low strike, then Moussa Sissoko had a swing with a left-footed volley which was too easy for Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez.
The best chance came when Digne, Paris St Germain's impressive 20-year-old left-back who was also making his World Cup debut, won a free-kick. Griezmann floated it over for Paul Pogba to thump a header goalwards but Dominguez was able to tip it over.
