PARIS - Kevin Gameiro marked his first international start in almost five years with a brace as France came from behind to beat Bulgaria 4-1 and kick-start their World Cup qualifying campaign on Friday. Dimitri Payet and Antoine Griezmann ensured the home side went into the interval with a comfortable advantage and Gameiro completed an ultimately handsome victory in the second half. We reacted well and then ran away with it," Gameiro, back in favour at the age of 29, told TF1. Three minutes later, France were in front when a Payet cross from the left went all the way in without anyone getting a touch. Disaster had been averted for France and they were then gifted a third goal seven minutes before the break.
