The “Huuhkajat” was the last guest of the reigning world champion in France. Already in the first round, the hosts more than did justice to their role as Favorites Tip and were distinguished by clear field advantages. The first good chances were not long in coming. After 25 minutes, Antoine Griezmann was on hand and secured a 1-0 victory. This result also reflected the pause. Even after the side change, “le Bleus” got a better start and came 2-0 after only eight minutes by Antoine Griezmann. Despite numerous other chances for the hosts, the score remained 0-2 in the end. From the guests’ point of view, a defeat that could have been higher. Throughout the game, only one shot was fired at the opponent’s box.

The Ukrainians received the reigning world champion from France on the last World Cup qualifying day. Although the visitors showed a lot of possession in the first round, Ukraine had the better chances on its side and radiated a lot of goal danger. Shortly before the break, Mykola Shaparenko provided the surprising lead for the hosts. At the same time, it went into the half-time break. After the page change, the guests had to invest more in the game and did so. The hosts, for their part, withdrew and defended themselves. Only five minutes were played when Anthony Martial forced the equaliser. Despite the field superiority of the “team” it remained in the end with the draw.
The “Schowto-blakytni” has so far been undefeated in the course of the World Cup qualification. This may sound pleasing at first glance, but on the other hand, not a single victory has been achieved so far. So there are five draws.
