28 Sep
Summary
- Michael Olise scored a stunning late solo goal in the 88th minute.
- France secured a 1-0 victory over Belgium in the Nations League.
- Kylian Mbappe was absent due to a knee injury sustained previously.
Michael Olise's breathtaking solo effort in the 88th minute secured a 1-0 victory for France over Belgium in their Nations League encounter. Zinedine Zidane's squad, making significant changes from their previous match, found it challenging to penetrate a disciplined Belgian defense in Brussels.
Bayern Munich winger Olise initiated a remarkable run from his own half, evading a defender before calmly finishing into the bottom corner. This crucial goal ensured France's second win in the group stage.
France faced difficulties converting chances, notably without striker Kylian Mbappe, who was unavailable due to a knee injury. Desire Doue was a standout performer, hitting the crossbar, while debutant Lucas da Cunha also struck the woodwork.
Belgium's wingers provided a threat, but an inexperienced French defense held firm. France now leads Group A1 and is scheduled to play Italy next, while Belgium faces Turkey.
