Olise soared in the final warm-up match and send-off ceremony before the World Cup.

After opening the scoring in the 43rd minute of the first half, Olise completed a brace in the 4th minute of the second half with a powerful left-footed shot inside the penalty box. In the 30th minute, he found the back of the net with his trademark left-footed curling shot, securing a hat-trick ahead of his first World Cup appearance.

France successfully turned the tide, bouncing back from a shocking defeat against Ivory Coast to secure a win in their send-off match.

Spain, ranked 2nd in the FIFA rankings and coming off a draw against Iraq four days ago, also ended their final tune-up on a high note.

Even without their ace Yamal, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation, they defeated Peru 3-1 to finish their evaluation matches with one win and one draw.
