France has produced a remarkable comeback, leading 3-0 against Ukraine in the return leg of the World Cup qualifying match, overturning a 2-0 deficit from the first leg. With a convincing performance, France is on track to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Mamadou Sakho and Karim Benzema scored crucial goals in the 22nd and 34th minutes, respectively, narrowing the aggregate score and giving France a lifeline. Despite controversies surrounding offside decisions, the team continued their determined efforts. In the 72nd minute, an own goal by Oleksandr Kucher further solidified France’s advantage.
With this impressive turnaround, France is poised to secure a spot in the World Cup, potentially setting the stage for a significant rematch against the country they defeated in the 1998 World Cup final.
