Two goals from star striker Kylian Mbappé helped send two-time champions France into the 2026 World Cup with a 4-0 home win over Ukraine on Thursday.
Midfielder Michael Ulysses and substitute forward Hugo Accte added the other goals in a dominant second half from France, the 2022 World Cup runners-up.
Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for shoving Ireland defender Dara O’Shea in the second half of Ireland’s shock 2-0 defeat.
Ronaldo now faces a two-game ban, which will see him miss the first match of the World Cup tournament if Portugal qualifies.
Earlier, Erling Holland scored twice as Norway came close to qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1998, beating Estonia 4-1 in Oslo. The victory virtually secures a spot for the top-scoring Norwegian in next year’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
