France dominated Ukraine 4–0 in a World Cup qualifier that showcased the hosts' attacking superiority and defensive control. Playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, the French maintained 71 per cent possession and fashioned 25 shots, of which 10 found the target, though their expected goals of 2.7 underscored Ukraine's stubborn defensive organisation in a 5-3-2 setup. Kylian Mbappé netted twice, with Hugo Ekitike and Michael Olise completing the rout, while Ukraine managed just one shot across the entire match and none on target. The visitors' goalkeeper made six saves from ten shots faced, limiting the damage to a 4.0 post-shot expected goals conceded—a respectable effort in a one-sided affair. France's control was total; Ukraine offered minimal threat in what became a comprehensive qualifying statement. Victory extends France's commanding position atop the group.
