On Saturday, Anthony Martial scored a rare international goal, but France faltered again on their way to the 2022 World Cup championships in Qatar, drawing 1-1 with Ukraine in Kiev.

Manchester United's Anthony Martial equalized five minutes into the second half, canceling out Mykola Shaparenko's stunning strike for Ukraine, the Euro 2020 quarter-finalists.

On the occasion of his 29th cap, it was just Martial's second goal for his nation, with his only prior score coming in a friendly win in Italy in September 2016.

Following their elimination from the European Championship in the last 16 on penalties against Switzerland, France has dropped points in two of their first three games since returning to action.

Les Bleus were held at home by Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, but they still lead qualifying Group D by four points over Finland and Ukraine.
