France and Sweden observed a minute's silence prior to their World Cup qualifier this evening, two days before the first anniversary of the Paris terror attacks.
Seven perpetrators from terror group ISIS claimed the lives of 130 civilians in the atrocities which shocked the world 12 months ago.
France were taking on Germany on the evening of the attacks, with explosions in the city being clearly heard during the match.
Fans and players were kept inside the ground as a safety measure following the final whistle, with players from both sides staying the night.
Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet were on target as France marked the first anniversary of the Paris attacks with victory over Sweden in a World Cup qualifier at Stade de France.
A minute's silence was observed before kick-off to remember the 130 victims of the attacks on 13 November 2015.
Emil Forsberg scored for Sweden early in the second half but Manchester United's Pogba quickly equalised.
Payet's 65th-minute winner secure three points for France.
