⏪ Mbappé strikes in French victory; Italy cruise and Scotland hold Denmark | OneFootball

That's all from us this evening from this batch of World Cup qualifiers. Thanks for following the action with us.

DENMARK 0-0 SCOTLAND

A hard fought battle at Parken comes to an end as Scotland take a point from Denmark.

FULL TIME: ITALY 5-0 ESTONIA

A second-half Italian rout, where Italy scored all five goals, leaves Gennaro Gattuso as a happy man after his first game in charge as the Azzurri boss.

FULL TIME: UKRAINE 0-2 FRANCE

France rode their luck at times but Mbappé's late second was enough to get Les Blues over the line.

GOAL ITALY

It's five and Alessandro Bastoni meets Raspadori's cross with a powerful header into the net.

GOAL ITALY!

Retegui gets his second of the evening, headering in at the near post to cap a dominant performance from the Azzurri.

CHANCE SCOTLAND

Ben Doak produces a wonderful bit of skill to get to the bylien and work an angle but his shot is deflected into the side-netting.

GOAL FRANCE

Kylian Mbappé surely seals the win for France with a second. The Real Madrid star beats his marker and lashes past a helpless Turbin.

CHANCE FRANCE

Big chance for France to finish the game off as Olise finds Barcola, who lashes over the crossbar from inside the area.

NO RED CARD

Sigh of relief from Scotland there as the referee gives Johnston a yellow card rather than a red.

VAR RED CARD CHECK

Scotland defender Max Johnston was adjudged to handball as the last man to deny Denmark a goalscoring opporunity...

GOAL ITALY

The goals are flying in for the Azzurri now as Raspadori gets in on the action, leaping with a diving header to connect with Matteo Politano's cross.

GOAL ITALY!

Retegui gets his goal now also, picking his spot expertly and stroking into the bottom corner from a tight angle. Nicely taken.

CHANCES UKRAINE

Ukraine almost stun France as Ibrahima Konaté headers off the line before Illia Zabarnyi heads against the post.

Kean nearly grabs a quickfire second, racing into the box and lashing a powerful shot against the bar. He's up for it now!

GOAL ITALY!

Finally, Italy get their goal and Kean is the man of the moment as the attacker reacted first to Retegui's mis-timed touch to header easily into the net.

CHANCE DENMARK

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's curling attempt from the edge of the area is a whisker away from finding the bottom corner. Very close!

CHANCE SCOTLAND

Scott McTominay unleashes a powerful strike from a tight angle and forces Kasper Schmeichel into a save.

Scotland have started brightly in Denmark and John McGinn races onto a loose ball inside the area and his fierce shot is blocked wide.

SECOND HALF BEGINS

We're back in action across all three qualifiers.

HALF TIME: DENMARK 0-0 SCOTLAND

Pretty even and cagey first half in Copenhagen as the first 45 ends goalless.

HALF TIME: ITALY 0-0 ESTONIA

Kean and Retegui have caused Estonia all kinds of problems in defence. But Italy haven't taken their chances and are level with Estonia at half time.

HALF TIME: UKRAINE 0-1 FRANCE

Olise's well-taken goal is the difference in a cagey first period.

BIG CHANCE ITALY!

Kean burst past the Estonian backline and is through on goal. He can't hold his nerve and sends his shot well over the bar.

CHANCE SCOTLAND

Christie is unmarked to header back across goal from a tight angle and the attempt bounces just wide.

ITALY CHANCE

Kean is causing Estonia all kinds of problems and the attacker puts a great ball across the goalmouth. It's not met by any teammates and the opportunity goes begging.

Scotland press Denmark superbly and Ryan Christie gets a shooting opportunity on the edge of the area, but sends his attempt well high and wide of the goal.

Penalty appeals from Italy after Retegui goes down in the area under an Estonian challenge. The referee isn't interested there, however.

CHANCE FRANCE

Olise almost has a second as the Bayern Munich man lashes towards goal from the edge of the area. Luckily for Ukraine Anatoliy Trubin is on hand to make an important save.

CHANCE ITALY

Kean finds Mateo Retegui, who turns and gets a shot away, but it's deflected wide.

Scotland have their first sight at goal as Lyndon Dykes heads over from Andy Robertson's cross into the box.

GOAL FRANCE!

Michael Olise puts the visitors ahead, arriving late into the box to curl just inside of the right post from Bradley Barcloa's cut back. No way of stopping that!

Italy are piling on the pressure against Estonia and have won a succession of corners, but the Azzurri have failed to convert from any just yet.

CHANCE ITALY

Moise Kean tees up Matteo Politano, whose deflected effort goes just wide.
