France 1-1 Turkey: Dominating Les Bleus fail to grab a win despite Giroud goal

Share This
Olivier Giroud looked to have secured France's qualification for Euro 2020, but Kaan Ayhan struck late to earn Turkey a 1-1 draw


France missed the chance to secure a place at Euro 2020 as Kaan Ayhan's late header earned Turkey a 1-1 draw at the Stade de France.



Turkey inflicted France's only defeat of their Group H campaign so far back in June and proved the world champions' nemesis again on Monday.

Substitute Olivier Giroud's 76th-minute header looked to have wrapped up France's qualification with two matches to spare, but it was not to be for Didier Deschamps' side.

Hakan Calhanoglu's free-kick teed up Ayhan for a close-range finish and France will now have to wait until November to claim their spot at next year's finals.
