- 90'+4'France will now begin preparations for the World Cup next year, while Finland will endure the disappointment of missing out on the tournament before the return of the Nations League.
- 90'+4'France end their World Cup qualifying campaign on a high note by recording a 2-0 win over Finland, who see their playoff hopes crushed as a result of their defeat.

However, strikes from Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe condemned Finland to defeat, while Ukraine's victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina allowed them to leapfrog Markku Kanerva's men into second place to secure a place in the playoffs.
