End of 2nd Half
90+4'
The referee blows for full time. That's four wins in five for France, but they slogged their way through it. Luxembourg played well, with organisation and a willingness to attack, but this was no classic.
90+2'
Corner on the right for France. Griezmann lines it up, hoofs it to the backk post, and it's headed out for a corner on the left. Nothing from it.
90+1'
There will be four minutes of added time, at least.
90'
France are playing the ball around defence, and Jallet aims a ball forward that is to nobody in a white shirt.
87'
Both sides appear to have come to an agreement to just let the game slide for the last few minutes.
83'
Rabiot strolls on, with his hair, to replace Matuidi.

GOAL! Luxembourg 1-3 France. Giroud scores - Kante fires out a pass to Mendy on the left, and Giroud meets his header to send the 'keeper the wrong way, to seal victory.

France are struggling. They're missing Evra and Cantona.
70'
France have, let's be honest, been cack so far today. They've played slowly and have committed little in attack against a limited side.
67'
First Matuidi, then Jallet, have a long range shot which doesnt do anything meaningful. Then again, do any of us?
65'
Payet's free kick sails over the bar. It's been Marseille Payet today, not 15/16 West Ham Payet. Griezmann is released into the box by Dembele, but the 'keeper comes out to block the shot, and collect a moment later.
64'
Martins goes through the back of Giroud about 35 yards out, and France have a free kick.
62'
Bohnert is on for Luxembourg in place of Mutsch, and Sidibe - on a stretcher - is placed by Jallet.

Jallet is warming up and will be replacing Sidibe in a few seconds.
60'
Sidibe is down, clutching his ribs on the edge of the box after not really doing much on the right wing. He's getting treatment.
58'
Sidibe goes into the box on the right, anticipating a foul, but as he goes down he lays it off to Dembele, who can't wriggle free to do anything dangerous.
56'
Philipps, I think, bashes into Payet to let Griezmann float in a cross from relatively deep. Umtiti strains towards it, but the ball drifts out of play.
53'
It's Koscielny's turn now. Payet whips in a cross to the back post, and Koscielny completely misses the ball when it was easier to score.
