KEY POINTS

  • France beat Belgium 4-1 in Nations League Group A1 at the Stade de France.
  • Lukebakio scored a 35th-minute opener for Belgium on the counter-attack.
  • Substitutes Doué, Cherki and Olise turned the match in the final 13 minutes.

  • France lead the group by three points over Italy; Belgium sit third.

France recovered from a first-half deficit to beat Belgium 4-1 at the Stade de France on Monday, handing Zinedine Zidane his first home win as national team coach. Dodi Lukebakio gave the visitors a 35th-minute lead against the run of play, finishing a swift counter-attack started by Romeo Lavia.

Les Bleus dominated possession but lacked penetration until Zidane introduced Michael Olise, Désiré Doué and Rayan Cherki. Doué equalised in the 77th minute with a low driven shot before Olise set up Cherki for the lead four minutes later.

“A blistering finish, scoring four times in the final 13 minutes to preserve Zidane's unbeaten start.”
