KEY POINTS

  • France and Belgium drew 0-0 in Brussels in Nations League Group A
  • Both teams had won their opening matches (France 1-0 vs Turkey, Belgium 2-0 vs Italy)
  • Kylian Mbappé missed the match due to injury sustained against Turkey
  • Mike Maignan made a vital late save to deny Dodi Lukebakio
  • France remain unbeaten against Belgium since the 2018 World Cup semi-final

France and Belgium played out a 0-0 draw in Brussels on Monday in their second Nations League Group A fixture. Both teams entered the match with maximum points after opening victories over Turkey and Italy respectively.

Coach Zinedine Zidane was without captain Kylian Mbappé, who returned to Madrid with an injury sustained against Turkey. The first half produced several chances at both ends, with Bradley Barcola and Maghnes Akliouche threatening for France while Kevin De Bruyne and Mika Godts tested Mike Maignan.

“Since the 2018 World Cup semi-final, Belgium have lost five times in a row to France.”

The second half followed a similar pattern before Zidane introduced Ousmane Dembélé, Rayan Cherki and Michael Olise to inject fresh impetus. Belgium also made changes, bringing on Dodi Lukebakio and Hans Vanaken. Maignan made a crucial save from Lukebakio late on to preserve the point.

The result leaves France and Belgium level on four points at the top of the group ahead of Italy's match against Turkey. The stalemate extends France's winning streak over Belgium to five consecutive matches since the 2018 World Cup semi-final, though the wait for a first victory under Zidane against the Red Devils continues.
