The French national team achieved a precious victory over their Belgian counterpart by a goal to nil, in the match that brought them together on Monday evening at the "King Baudouin" stadium, within the competitions of the second round of the UEFA Nations League.
The French national team entered the match relying on a number of young players in its starting lineup, including Aklious and Lepol, while keeping a number of its stars on the bench, such as Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé, and Rayan Cherki.
The "Roosters" imposed their superiority on the course of the match, especially during the second half, where they intensified their attacking attempts in search of the leading goal, while the Belgian national team relied more on counter-attacks to exploit the spaces.
The French national team was close to scoring on more than one occasion, after one of their attempts hit the crossbar, before the score remained tied at zero until the final minutes of the match.
As the match was approaching its end without goals, substitute Michael Olise appeared in the 88th minute, after he broke away with the ball before unleashing a powerful ground shot from the edge of the penalty area, which the Belgian goalkeeper failed to save, and the ball settled into the net, giving France the winning goal.
The French national team maintained their lead during the remaining minutes, to earn three new points and achieve their second consecutive victory in the tournament.
The French team raised its tally to 6 points at the top of the group, while the Italian national team remained in second place with 3 points, ahead of Belgium in third place on goal difference, while the Turkish national team is at the bottom of the standings with no points.
