In a thrilling UEFA Nations League match, France secured a 2-0 victory over Belgium in Lyon, France. Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele were the heroes of the day, scoring the crucial goals for the French team.
The French team, led by coach Didier Deschamps, made eight changes to the starting lineup, including the absence of captain Kylian Mbappe. Despite the changes, France put on a strong performance to bounce back from their disappointing loss to Italy in their previous match.
Deschamps expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, acknowledging the challenges posed by a talented Belgian side. He emphasized that the victory over Belgium was a positive reaction, but there is still room for improvement in the team’s overall performance.
The match saw France take the lead just before the half-hour mark, with Kolo Muani converting a rebound after Dembele’s shot was saved by the Belgian goalkeeper. Dembele himself doubled France’s lead with a brilliant individual effort, cutting inside from the right wing and unleashing a powerful shot into the net.
Despite Belgium’s efforts, they were unable to find an equalizer against the French defense. The victory over Belgium puts France and Belgium level on three points each in Group A2, with Italy leading the group with six points.
Looking ahead, Italy will face Belgium in Rome in the next round of matches, while France will take on Israel in Budapest. The victory over Belgium will undoubtedly boost France’s confidence as they aim to continue their winning streak in the UEFA Nations League.
