Last night's result: France narrowly defeated Belgium to claim their second consecutive UEFA Nations League victory.
On 29 Sep 2026 GMT+7, in the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 League A Group 1 Matchday 2, Belgium hosted France. The French team was led by new coach Zinedine Zidane, the legendary player who won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, in his second match in charge.
The match ended with France winning 1-0 thanks to a late goal in the 88th minute. Two substitutes who came on in the 77th minute combined in a counterattack: Ryan Cherki chipped the ball to Michael Olise, who sprinted past Belgian defenders from midfield and struck a left-footed shot from just outside the penalty area, beating goalkeeper Senne Lammens in the corner.
This victory means Zinedine Zidane, the new coach of the "Les Bleus" French national team, has won both matches since taking over, earning a perfect 6 points to top Group 1 in the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 League A.
Meanwhile, Belgium suffered their first loss after previously winning 2-0 away against Italy. They remain second in the group with 3 points.
