France kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign in an unconvincing fashion as they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Ukraine on Wednesday. Antoine Griezmann put the world champions in front in the first half with a brilliant strike, only for defender Presnel Kimpembe to hand the visitors a point with an own goal after the break.

The result left Didier Deschamps' side and Ukraine level
with Finland and Bosnia in Group D after they drew 2-2 in the other
game. Les Bleus next face Kazakhstan and Bosnia away, on Sunday and
Wednesday. Of course, I can't be satisfied. We had chances to increase our advantage
and we didn't take them, Deschamps said. "But let's be honest after the
break we did not exactly threaten them."
France dominated possession and they went ahead on 19
minutes as Griezmann whipped a delightful shot into the far top corner from the
edge of the box. It put Griezmann up to joint fourth with David Trezeguet in
the list of France's all-time top scorers with 34 goals. Thierry Henry is top
with 51.
Olivier Giroud went close to doubling the advantage,
but his header from Benjamin Pavard's cross went just over the crossbar in
the 32nd minute. Ukraine, however, hit back when Sergiy Sydorchuk's harmless
attempt was deflected into his net by Kimpembe 12 minutes into the second half.
Deschamps made two substitutions, sending Paul
Pogba and Ousmane Dembele in for Giroud and Kingsley Coman,
and promised more changes for his weary group ahead of Sunday's Kazakhstan
match. "With more freshness and some momentum we could do a lot better,
but a lot of my players had played in their domestic leagues on Sunday,"
Deschamps said. For more to know about Qatar Football World Cup 2022 Tickets Click here.

Griezmann had a chance to give France a last-gasp win, but
his curled attempt was tipped away by Heorhiy Bushchan eight minutes from time.
Kimpembe had an opportunity to make up for his own goal in the last minute but headed
the ball straight into Bushchan's arms.
