  "account": "Michael Olise sealed a late brace as France mounted a remarkable comeback to defeat Belgium and claim their first home victory under Zinedine Zidane's leadership. The French team came from behind after being trailing 1-0 at halftime to win 4-1. Bradley Barcola and Estebán Lepual had early opportunities for Belgium, but it was the Belgians who broke the deadlock in the first half. Dodi Lukebakio scored the opening goal in the 25th minute, capitalizing on a brilliant run from Romeo Lavia. France struggled to create chances after that, but a late surge saw them equalize in the 77th minute through Désiré Doué, who latched onto a superb solo run. Just minutes later, Rayan Cherki restored France's lead, and then Michael Olise, playing for Bayern Munich, completed the turnaround with a brace, one of which came in stoppage time. This result put France on top of the group with ten points, while Belgium settled for third place with six.",
