Highlights

90+3'

All over then! A 2-0 win for France who go top of Group D before England host Sweden. A decent performance from the French. Comfortable winners.

89'

We are into three minutes of time added on....

88'

The French can keep their goal clean for the 10th time at the European Championship. If they do, they become the fifth team with at least 10 clean sheets: Netherlands (15), Italy (14), Germany (14) and Portugal (10).

87'

M'Vila concedes a free-kick for a foul on Devic. Won't matter much. France destined for a 2-0 win it seems.

86'

Nasri decides to try his luck. Whacks the shot at goal, but Pyatov is on hand to punch the ball away.

85'

Tymoshchuk is penalised for a foul on Martin. And out comes the yellow card for him.

84'

Devic taken out by Clichy with a late challenge. Lloris then off his line to punch clear Alyev's free-kick.

83'

This could be the first time a host country loses a European Championship match by a margin of more than one goal since Belgium lost 2-0 to Turkey at Euro 2000.

82'

Ribery dinks a cute little ball into the centre of the opposition box, but nobody there to convert with a header.

81'

Alyev swipes the ball over the bar. Disappointment on a night of such emotion for Ukraine, who must beat England in their final match to be certain of the last eight.

80'

Mexes catches Milevsky some 25 yards from goal. This is a real chance for Ukraine to give themselves a lifeline.

79'

Giroud blazes an effort miles over the bar. The French fans can see the funny side of that effort.

78'

Konoplyanka brought down by Debuchy. A bit unnecessary, but the France man is in the book.

77'

So France can settle back and enjoy the England match against Sweden knowing they have done their job for this evening. They conclude their Group D campaign against Sweden on Tuesday.

76'

France have been the more assured side. More shots at goals, more goals and more possession. The stats sometimes lie, but not here.

75'

Benzema takes his time in departing the action to be replaced by Olivier Giroud. Cue a few more boos then from Ukraine fans.

74'

France breaking up the play in the middle of the park. A few boos from the home fans, who are not best pleased. Don't know why to be honest.

73'

For the third time at Euro 2012 a team scored twice in four minutes: Russia against Czech Republic, Czech Republic against Greece and now France against Ukraine.

72'

Off goes Menez to be replaced by Marvin Martin.

71'

Ribery clatters the shot at goal, but just over the bar. Not a bad effort. It remains 2-0.
