    France win, Sweden draw in frindlies games


     Dimitri Payet has grabbed a stunning late winner as Euro 2016 hosts France beat Cameroon 3-2, while Sweden were held 0-0 by Slovenia in their penultimate tune-up game.
    Payet was on target in the 90th minute with a sublime free-kick into the far left corner in Nantes, two minutes after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting of German club Schalke had levelled for the Africans.
    Paris Saint-Germain's Blaise Matuidi volleyed home Kingsley Coman's cross in the 20th and Arsenal's Olivier Giroud struck shortly before half-time off Paul Pogba for Les Bleus.
    Porto's Vincent Aboubakar scored Cameroon's first goal in the 22nd against an at times shaky France defence.
    The win will boost France ahead of their Euro opener on June 10 against Romania, with Switzerland and Albania their other Group A opponents for the tournament starting on June 10.
    Didier Deschamps and his team will have a final tune-up game on Saturday against Scotland in Metz.
    Meanwhile, Sweden were without Zlatan Ibrahomovic, who is nursing a calf problem, during a scoreless draw against Slovenia in Malmo.
    Parts of the crowd jeered the team after the final whistle.
    Sweden have one more tune-up game on Sunday against Wales before facing former world ranking leaders Belgium, Euro 2012 runners-up Italy and Ireland in a difficult Group E.
