France will have to negotiate the play-offs if they are to reach the 2014 World Cup finals despite finishing their qualification campaign with a 3-0 win over Finland.

Franck Ribery opened the scoring in the eighth minute before a Joona Toivio own goal and Karim Benzema's late strike earned Les Bleus victory, the second consecutive match in which the Real Madrid striker has scored after a nightmare spell in front of goal.

However, Spain's win over Georgia guaranteed progression from Group I for the defending World Cup holders and forced France into the play-off lottery.
