Oliseh scores twice in late comeback win for France

France staged a remarkable comeback against Belgium in the Nations League, scoring four goals in the final 13 minutes to secure a 4-1 win. Zinedine Zidane, in charge of the French team, continued his unbeaten start to his tenure. Dodi Lukebakio put Belgium ahead early on, capitalizing on Romeo Lavia's stunning 60-yard pass. France fought back quickly, with Desire Doue equalizing with a low shot from outside the box after Maarten Vandevoordt made his debut in the Belgian goal.

Rayan Cherki gave France the lead with a well-taken finish following a cutback from Michael Olise. Olise himself scored twice in the closing stages, both from passes by Doue, demonstrating his continued excellent form for France. Olise has been involved in 17 goals in 16 games for France in 2026. The victory propelled France to the top of Group A1, boasting 10 points from four matches, while Belgium settled for third place with six points.

Italy climbed to second place in the group after a 3-1 home win against Turkey. Gianluca Scamacca gave Italy the lead, which Aral Simsir equalized before Riccardo Calafiori restored Italy's advantage, and Pio Esposito sealed the win.
