In a thrilling encounter at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Michael Olise's spectacular goal in the 88th minute propelled France to a 1-0 victory over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League. This win marks Zinedine Zidane's second consecutive victory since taking over as head coach of the French national team.

Olise, who gained recognition for his impressive performances during the recent World Cup, came off the bench late in the match to deliver the decisive moment. With the game locked in a stalemate, the Bayern Munich star seized the opportunity to shine. Collecting the ball deep in his own half, he made a remarkable run, evading Belgian defenders before unleashing a curling shot from the edge of the box that found the bottom-left corner of the net.

This victory comes on the heels of France's 1-0 win against Turkey, which was Zidane's debut match as head coach following the departure of Didier Deschamps. With this latest triumph, France now leads Nations League Group A1 with six points, three points clear of both Belgium and Italy, who secured a 4-1 win against Turkey on the same day.

Zidane's side will next face Italy at the Stade de France, marking a significant homecoming for the legendary coach. The match is set to take place on Friday, and it will be an opportunity for France to solidify their position at the top of the group.

The match against Belgium saw Zidane make significant changes to the starting lineup, with nine alterations from the previous game. Notably, captain Kylian Mbappe was absent due to a knee injury sustained during the match against Turkey, prompting a reshuffle in the squad. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix were the only players retained from the previous match. Among the new faces were Lucas Da Cunha, who made his debut in midfield, and Esteban Lepaul, who was the top scorer in Ligue 1 last season.

Belgium, under new coach Mark van Bommel, made only two changes from their previous victory against Italy. Despite having the home advantage, they struggled to contain the French attack, with Desire Doue hitting the crossbar in the first half and Da Cunha striking the post shortly after the break.

As the match approached its conclusion, it seemed destined for a draw until Olise's moment of brilliance turned the tide in favor of France, ensuring they remain unbeaten in the Nations League under Zidane's leadership.
