Ukraine hit back in the second half with Serhiy Sydorchuk’s shot taking a big deflection off Paris Saint-Germain’s Presnel Kimpembe and wrong-footing Hugo Lloris.
France couldn’t find a winner after being pegged back and had to settle for a draw. Griezmann played the whole 90 minutes, while Ousmane Dembele came off the bench on 64 minutes and made his first appearance for his country since November 2018.
