World champions France were held to a 1-1 draw by Turkey in Paris to delay their qualification for Euro 2020.

Axar.az reports citing BBC that Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud headed home an Antoine Griezmann corner four minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Kaan Ayhan pulled Turkey level five minutes later as he glanced a free-kick from the right past Steve Mandanda.

The result means Turkey remain above France at the top of Group H because of their 2-0 win in the reverse fixture. Iceland's 2-0 win over Andorra meant neither France nor Turkey could qualify on Monday.

France dominated the game, having 64% of possession and 23 shots but was unable to really threaten a well-organized and stubborn Turkey defense which has conceded just three goals in eight qualifying games.
