Match ends, France 1, Turkey 1.
FranceFrance1TurkeyTurkey1
World champions France were held to a 1-1 draw by Turkey in Paris to delay their qualification for Euro 2020.
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 were unable to really threaten a well-organised and stubborn Turkey defence which has conceded just three goals in eight qualifying games.
Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante was on the bench for France despite reportedly picking up a muscle injury during the warm-up for Friday's 1-0 win over Iceland.
But fellow Premier League players Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Hugo Lloris and Aymeric Laporte were all missing through injury.
Turkey face Iceland and Andorra in November requiring a point to secure qualification, while France host Moldova before going to Andorra needing a maximum of three points to reach the finals.
