Michael Olise's late strike gives France victory over Belgium in Nations League
Michael Olise came off the bench to score a curling 88th-minute winner as France beat Belgium 1-0 in the Nations League.
France claimed a 1-0 Nations League victory over Belgium in Brussels, with Michael Olise settling a tight match in the 88th minute. Michael Olise came off the bench, charged from inside his own half and curled his shot past goalkeeper Senne Lammens at the edge of the area.
France recorded their second win under new coach Zinedine Zidane. France rested Kylian Mbappé after his knee injury from Friday's match against Turkey.
Belgium had chances through Désiré Doué and debutant Lucas Da Cunha but could not break through before Olise's intervention. France now leads Group A1 with six points and will face Italy on Friday.
