Victory for video in France

PARIS - Spain twice benefited from the use of video technology to defeat France 2-0 on Tuesday, while Sweden rallied from two goals down to beat Portugal 3-2 and spoil Cristiano Ronaldo's homecoming in Madeira.

Antoine Griezmann headed in what appeared to be the opening goal at Stade de France shortly after halftime, but it was ruled offside after consultation with the assistant video referee.

David Silva then converted a penalty after a foul by Laurent Koscielny, and the Spaniards again profited from technology as the referee reversed an offside decision that initially negated Gerard's Deulofeu 78th-minute effort.
