It was a tough game , high level . They were better than us , even if we put them in danger in spurts . We have not had enough risk-taking . 'To celebrate in these kinds of games , you have to be thorough from the first to the 95th minute . ' Oscar scored Brazil 's first goal as they came from behind to beat France 3-1 . Neymar also got on the scoresheet in the Stade de France . France play Denmark in a friendly in Saint-Etienne on Sunday , and Benzema was relieved to have a chance to rectify the mistakes made against Brazil so quickly . 'What 's nice is that there is a game on Sunday and that should enable us to erase this defeat . ' And France goalkeeper Steve Mandanda agreed with his captain . He said : 'They were superior , period . They were very solid at the back , and offensively as well . 'We did some good things , by opening the scoring and then having opportunities to come back .
