Michael Olise's magnificent late strike secured a 1-0 Nations League victory for France over Belgium in Brussels. The substitute, who came on in the 77th minute, scored the winner in the 88th minute, curling a shot beyond Senne Lammens from the edge of the area.
This win marks Zinedine Zidane's second victory in two games as France's new head coach. France now sit top of Group A1 with six points and are set to host Italy at the Stade de France on Friday.
Elsewhere, Italy bounced back from an earlier defeat to Belgium by thrashing Turkey 4-1 in Bursa. Roberto Mancini's side scored three goals within the first half-hour, with Alessandro Bastoni, Davide Frattesi, and Michael Kayode all finding the net. Pio Esposito added Italy's fourth goal after Turkey's Baris Yilmaz had briefly reduced the deficit.
In League B, Northern Ireland were left frustrated after a 0-0 draw at home to Hungary. Michael O’Neill’s team created several opportunities, with Patrick Kelly hitting the crossbar and Isaac Price being denied late on. Northern Ireland are now joint-top of their group alongside Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Sweden secured their second win in two games in Group B4, beating Poland 3-1 in Solna. Goals from Benjamin Nygren, Yasin Ayari, and Victor Gyökeres sealed the victory for Sweden.
