  "account": "Paris, Monday: Michael Olise's late goals sealed a stunning 4-1 victory for France over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, giving coach Zinedine Zidane his first win since taking charge. Dodi Lukebakio gave Belgium an early lead in the first half at the Stade de France, but France quickly turned the tide. Desire Doue drew France level in the 77th minute and Olise set up Rayan Cherki to score four minutes later, putting the hosts ahead. Olise then added a third goal before securing the win with a fourth in stoppage time. Zidane praised Olise's exceptional performance, stating that it was \"simply exceptional.\" France now moves three points clear of Italy at the top of Group A1, while Belgium trails by one point. Italy's win over Turkey in Bologna leaves them with a fourth consecutive loss. Zidane expressed optimism about France's prospects, highlighting the team's 10 points and the satisfaction of their good work with the players and staff.",
