Zidane maintains perfect record thanks to last-minute goal

The French national team has given new head coach Zinédine Zidane a dream start. Michael Olise made the difference with his last-minute goal. Mark van Bommel, on the other hand, had to accept his first defeat as Belgium's head coach.

In an intense match, both teams had their moments. Initially, Doué powered through and rattled the crossbar with his shot (12'). Then, after a well-executed counter-attack, De Ketelaere narrowly missed De Bruyne's cross into the six-yard box (19'). Because Kalulu's shot was cleared off the line (27'), it went into halftime goalless.

After the break, France increased the tempo, but neither Doué (52') nor Da Cunha, who only hit the post from long range (54'), managed to score. Just when everyone was expecting a goalless draw, Olise struck with clinical precision. The Bayern star started from his own half and single-handedly finished the counter-attack to make it 1-0 (88').

France now leads Group 1 of League A with a maximum of six points. Belgium remains on three points. With their win against Turkey, Italy has moved up to third place.
