France and Denmark played out the first 0-0 draw of the 2018 World Cup at the Luzhniki Stadium this afternoon to finish as the top two in Group C.

Les Bleus were already through to the knockout stages and the point, combined with Australia’s defeat to Peru, endured that Denmark would join them as runners-up.

Didier Deschamps made six changes to his France starting lineup who again failed to justify why they are among the tournament favourites with a disappointing display.

In the other group match Australia were eliminated from the 2018 World Cup in the group stages courtesy of a 2-0 defeat to Peru in their final Group C clash on Tuesday afternoon.

The Socceroos needed to beat Peru to stand any chance of progressing to the round of 16, but goals from Andre Carrillo and Paolo Guerrero saw the South Americans collect all three points.

As it transpired, even a win would not have been enough for Australia, however, with Denmark claiming the point they needed against France to join Didier Deschamps ‘s side in the knockout round of the competition.
