Explosions outside of Stade de France on Friday evening forced the evacuation of French president Francois Hollande and several government colleagues, while those in attendance gathered on the pitch post-match after initially being advised not to leave the stadium north of Paris proper.
In light of the nature and severity of Friday's attacks, there was no further information about the suspended Euro 2016 warm-up match.
