France must wait to claim a place at Euro 2020 after the world champions were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Turkey on Monday.

Turkey's Kaan Ayhan equalised eight minutes from time after France substitute Olivier Giroud opened the scoring as the visitors stayed top of Group H with 19 points from eight games, ahead of Les Bleus by virtue of a 2-0 win in Konya last June.

Iceland are third on 15 points after goals by Arnor Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson earned a 2-0 home win over Andorra, with Albania fourth on 12 points following a 4-0 away win against Moldova.
