Guéla Doué Sings La Marseillaise After Goal, Riolo Praises

Guéla Doué sang La Marseillaise after scoring for the Eléphants de Côte d’Ivoire in a 1‑2 friendly defeat to France in Nantes. Daniel Riolo described the gesture as fantastic on RMC’s After programme. The match took place at the Stade de la Beaujoire, the home ground of FC Nantes. France secured the win with two unanswered goals following the Eléphants de Côte d’Ivoire’s opener. Guéla Doué’s brother Désiré Doué was listed among the French substitutes but remained unused. The Doué brothers thus shared the pitch indirectly, one scoring and the other watching from the bench. La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was performed spontaneously by Doué. The act highlighted the close ties between the two brothers despite playing for opposite national sides. Riolo’s praise was aired during the After segment on the RMC radio network. His on‑air remarks highlighted the unexpected cultural moment within the match. The incident was highlighted in the post‑match coverage on RMC. It shows how personal gestures can draw attention alongside the sporting result.
