France secured a 1-0 victory over Belgium in the Nations League after substitute Michael Olise netted two minutes from the final whistle, extending coach Zinedine Zidane’s unbeaten start since taking charge, Reuters reported.

Market Impact

Olise’s strike came after France, missing captain Kylian Mbappe, made nine changes to the lineup that had beaten Turkey 1-0 the previous week. Zidane introduced Ousmane Dembele, Rayan Cherki and Olise, whose surging run from midfield culminated in a superb finish that settled the Group A1 fixture in Brussels.

Belgium pressed for an equaliser, with Desire Doue twice testing the French defence and striking the woodwork, but the home side failed to convert any of their chances, leaving them to rue missed opportunities.

In the same round, Italy rebounded from a 2-0 loss to Belgium in their opening match, delivering a 4-1 away triumph over Turkey in Bursa. Alessandro Bastoni gave Italy the lead in the ninth minute from a corner, and Davide Frattesi added a second shortly after. Debutant Michael Kayode’s low finish made it 3-0 before half‑time, and Pio Esposito’s header restored a three‑goal cushion early in the second half after Turkey pulled one back.

The results left France atop Group A1 and Italy back on track in their campaign, while other groups saw Bosnia defeat Romania 4-2, Sweden beat Poland 3-1, and Montenegro edge Armenia 3-2, according to the Reuters summary.
