Griezmann rescues 10-man France

Antoine Griezmann

World Cup holders France needed a scrappy Antoine Griezmann equaliser before holding on with 10 men to draw 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina as they resumed their campaign to qualify for the 2022 finals in Qatar. 


Edin Dzeko gave Bosnia a first-half lead but soon after his headed clearance ricocheted back off Griezmann and just crossed the line to restore parity. 


France were then handicapped by the 51st-minute sending-off of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde for a terrible tackle on Arsenal’s Sead Kolasinac. The frustrating result nevertheless keeps France on course to top Group D and qualify automatically for the next World Cup.
