With this victory, Finland is now in second place in Group D standings with a collection of 5 points from 3 matches that have been played (W1 D2 L0). The win also broke their previous bad record without a win in the last 3 matches (W0 D1 L2).
At the last meeting in the 2020 test match at the Stade de France, France surprisingly lost in front of Finland with a score of 0-2. Two of Finland's winning goals in the match were scored by Marcus Forss in the 28th minute and Onni Valakari in the 31st minute.
