France secured a commanding 2-0 victory over Ukraine in World Cup qualifying Group D, with Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappé on the scoresheet. The visitors dominated territorially through a 4-2-3-1 shape, registering 16 shots compared to Ukraine's eight, whilst generating 2.21 expected goals against the hosts' 1.84. France's efficiency was evident in their six shots on target, though Ukraine's goalkeeper produced a resolute display with a 100 per cent save percentage to keep the deficit manageable until the goals arrived. The 4-1-4-1 formation deployed by Ukraine offered defensive structure but limited attacking penetration, with only three shots reaching the target despite a respectable xG output. Referee Danny Makkelie managed proceedings without major incident. France's clinical finishing and superior shot volume underscored their quality in a qualifying campaign that continues to demand consistency.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
