UEFA Nations League: Olise wonder goal gives France win in Belgium

France won 1-0 against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, thanks to a late goal from Michael Olise. The FC Bayern winger came on as a substitute and scored a solo strike with two minutes left to play, securing a second win for new coach Zinedine Zidane. This goal ended Olise's goal drought in international football, according to Yahoo Sports.

The win sent France top of Group 1 in the UEFA Nations League at the expense of Belgium. Zidane made nine changes to his lineup, with Kylian Mbappé missing due to injury, reported Yahoo Sports. Olise also assisted Mbappé's winner in Zidane's first game in charge against Türkiye.

In another match, Italy beat Türkiye 4-1 away from home in the Nations League, as reported by the Winnipeg Free Press.
