In this particular Euro 2008 qualifier all eyes were on Samir Nasri who is tipped to be the next “Zidane” but Marseille’s Franck Ribery stole the show with the opening goal thanks to a pinpoint pass from Claude Mekelele before Man Utd target Nicolas Anelka sealed a comfortable win for France.
Ukraine had held their own during the first 45 minutes, but a vibrant opening to the second half from the hosts proved too much. The defeat leaves Ukraine below France and Italy in the Group B table, with just the top two going through to the finals in Austria and Switzerland.
