Nations League: Italy reel in France to spoil Zidane's homecoming party

Italy drew 1-1 with France at the Stade de France in the Nations League. This result ended Zinedine Zidane's triumphant start to life as France head coach, according to RFI English.

In a separate Nations League match, Northern Ireland secured a 3-0 victory against Ukraine. The team, with an average age of 22, is the youngest Northern Ireland squad to start a game since World War Two. Ciaron Brown scored two goals, and Isaac Price also found the net.

Northern Ireland's win over Ukraine is notable, as only Sweden and France had beaten Ukraine in the past 12 months, Yahoo Sports reported.
