End of 2nd Half
90+4'
Saroka sends the ball into the side-netting from Volodko's cross, and that late scare is the last of the match, and the group, for France. Victory for the Netherlands means that Sweden finish in fourth, and this game in an irrelevance. France have qualified for six consecutive World Cups now, and they have done enough tonight.
90+2'
The Netherlands are 2-0 up against Sweden, hence France's slack performance. Matuidi is being made to leave the pitch with a nosebleed.
90'
There will be three minutes of added time.
89'

Giroud slips in Mbappe. He turns away from goal to tee up Payet, and his shot drifts just wide of the post.
87'
Volodko sticks out a hand to cut out a pass from Tolisso that was aimed to Sissoko behind the Belarussian, behind him and running into space. He's booked.
84'
Sidibe is rightly booked for going through the back of Stasevich.
83'
Payet is on for Lemar.
82'
France finally spend some time on the ball in Belarus's half.
79'
Saroka is caught with a late challenge as he overruns the ball, but he's OK to continue. It was Umtiti, I think, who caught him.
78'
Mbappe with another heavy pass, this time Lemar can't keep it in. Griezmann goes off to be replaced by Sissoko.
76'
Mbappe sprints 40 yards at goal, jinks past one defender and the 'keeper runs out to try to claim the ball. He pulls out of the challenge, Mbappe takes a tumble, and the referee ignores his half-hearted appeals.
74'
Mbappe sprints down the right, flicks in a measured pass for Giroud in the corridor of uncertainty, and he can't quite reach it.
73'
France are still struggling to reassert themselves here.
69'

Mbappe approaches the penalty box from the left, and attempts to aim a curling shot to the top corner, but Chernik plucks it out of the air.
68'
Mbappe tries to slip in Griezmann down the right wing, but his pass is overhit and the move breaks down. Goal kick for Belarus.
65'
Skavysh replaces Kovalev, who limps off the pitch to the bench.

What a miss. Belarus break down the right wing, a cross comes in for Saroko and with only Lloris to beat, he stabs it wide and doesn't even make Lloris work.
63'

Lemar whips in a cross to the back post, with Mbappe lurking, and Volodko sticks out a right leg to turn the ball just wide of goal.
61'
Coman is replaced by Mbappe.
60'
France continue to huddle in and around their area. It's a risky ploy, and France have some excellent players that Deschamps chooses not to use. Imagine the fear he'd have with Kylian Mbappe on the pitch.
