Scoreline
Ukraine 0-2 France
Full-Time
There really hasn't been any action late on for either side as Ukraine have been unable to muster the energy needed and France are content with what they have
Three Minutes Stoppage time
85'— Still no meaningful chances for Ukraine just yet
81' Good Chance for Ukraine
Milevskiy is brought down right outside the 18-yard box and now Ukraine has a really good chance to get back in the game
The game has slowed a bit since Cabaye's goal as Ukraine looks to try and find a way past the French defense
France has been really good here in the second half
69' Ukraine Substitution
Yarmolenko off,
Aliyev on
68' France Substitution
Cabaye off,
M'Vila on
67' Ukraine Corner
France should really have made the Ukraine pay after their slick passing play at the top of the box. Yohan Cabaye had a great shot which smashed against the post. Ukraine has been able to create two corners since.
63' France Looking Good
The French are still in control and Ukraine have a lot of work to do in this game. They need to sort things out at the back and hope their substitutes can make a difference.

49' France Still on Top Great Chance for Ukraine on the Counter
France have started the half in control and Jeremy Menez is again thwarted by the Ukraine goalkeeper. On the counter, Shevchenko unleashes a fierce drive which just misses the goal.
Second Half Begins
Ukraine Substitution
Voronin off,
Devich on
Lars Baron/Getty Images France has been the better team but there is no change in the scoreline. The half has gone by pretty fast considering long delay
Half-Time
One minute stoppage time
44' Benzema lively
A good bit of play between Nasri and Benzema sees the forward get down the left flank. He twists and turns and is able to get in a pretty good cross but none of his teammates are able to connect
40' Foul
Mexes gets his head on the free-kick for a powerful header which is saved. From the resulting corner Menez brings down Shevchenko
