Now Kucher is sent off for a second yellow for a foul on Ribery. What a crazy end.

Shevchuk smashes a shot just wide and that should be it…
90+2'
A frantic finish here as Gusev is almost played through on goal but he can’t quite control. France will be happy to get out of here.

Red card for Koscielny! It’s all gone wrong for France here. Kucher is booked for the initial foul and Koscielny then intervened. Looks like a possible butt.
90'
Ukraine have a three on one chance but it’s totally the wrong option and the chance has gone.
89'
Great run and cross again from Ribery but Pyatov claws behind for another corner. Intense France pressure.
88'
Ribery tries to get something going. He flashes a cross across the face of goal but nobody there gambling.
87'
France throwing numbers forward now but they must be careful. 3-0 would be a disaster and tie over.

Ukraine sub: Zozulya off for Seleznyov

Valbuena delivers another dangerous corner and again Koscielny gets a header on it but it’s scrambled away. Frantic stuff now.
83'
France have only seven minutes plus stoppage time to rescue something here and they win a free kick in a dangerous area. Evra is claiming a foul in the box but it’s only a corner.

Valbuena delivers a great corner onto the head of Koscielny as Pyatov comes but gets nowhere near. Alas it flies wide but another great chance.

France sub: Nasri off for Valbuena.

Ribery turns Fedetskyi in the box and he goes down this time but he didn’t even appeal for a penalty.
77'
After the dullest first half imaginable, this half has been a cracker. Ribery shoots and it’s on target but Pyatov saves easily.

Sissoko goes into the book. Replays suggest the referee may have got it right. Bezus on for Edmar.
