Ukraine 0-1 France (Jeremy Menez, 53 mins)

Finally, Jeremy Menez makes the most of a chance after missing at least two clear opportunities earlier. Franck Ribery finds his fellow midfielder in the box with a pass and Menez does all the rest by cutting inside and firing a low shot in at Andriy Pyatov’s near post. The Donbass Arena is shocked into a moment of silence. Ukraine had to come from behind their first game. They will have to do that again if they are to claim another victory here.

Ukraine 0-2 France (Yohan Cabaye, 56 mins)
Two goals in quick succession for France and they have complete control now. Karim Benzema turns away from his marker and finds Yohan Cabaye in the box with a neat pass. Cabaye gets lucky with a little defelction off Oleh Gusev, that knocks the ball into his path, before holding ofthe attentions of the Ukraine man and finishing low past the diving Andriy Pyatov. It is very, very quiet in the Donbass Arena now.
