Michael Olise scored a stunning individual goal in the 88th minute to secure a 1-0 victory for France over Belgium in their Nations League fixture. The winger's decisive strike, originating from his own half, marked a significant moment for France, who have now achieved two consecutive wins under the guidance of new head coach Zinedine Zidane.
In other Nations League matches, Italy delivered a dominant performance, defeating Turkey 4-1. Sweden also secured a win, overcoming Poland with a 3-1 scoreline. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland played out a goalless draw against Hungary, a result that manager Michael O'Neill described as a positive start to their campaign.
