New Caledonia hold Japan 1-1

Kolkata : European powerhouse France rallied from a goal down to hand a 5-1 drubbing on Honduras and qualify for the knockout stage as the group toppers in the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.
France had already booked a Round of 16 berth before today’s game but they now go into the knockout stage with an all-win record (nine points) in Group E. They will face Group D runners-up Spain — European qualifying tournament winners — in their Round of 16 match in Guwahati on October 17.

Despite the loss, Honduras also qualified for the knockouts as one of the four best third-placed teams. They finished third in the group with three points.
France dominated the exchanges with 66 per cent possession and had 10 shots on target as compared to just three by Honduras.
Honduras took a surprise lead in the 10th minute through Carlos Mejia but France rallied and then outplayed the Central American rivals with five goals, three of them coming in the second half. Alexis Flips struck twice in the 23rd and 64th minutes while Wilson Isidor (14th), Amine Gouiri (86th) and Yacine Adli (90+6) were the other scorers.
