Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe were on target again in a sharp second-half performance as France completed their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-0 away win against Finland on Tuesday. The French attack stuttered until Benzema came on as a second-half substitute and Mbappe set him up for the opener.
Mbappe then scored France's second as the world champions, who had already qualified for Qatar 2022 after Saturday's 8-0 demolition of Kazakhstan, finished Group D with 18 points from eight games. Finland, who were hoping to secure a playoff spot, ended up third on 11 points, one behind Ukraine who beat Bosnia 2-0 away to take second place. (Writing by Julien Pretot; Editing by Toby Davis)
