A spectacular individual goal from substitute Michael Olise earned France a 1-0 victory over Belgium in Brussels, maintaining head coach Zinedine Zidane’s perfect record since taking charge.
Olise, who entered the match in the 77th minute as a replacement for Bradley Barcola, broke a goalless deadlock in the 88th minute. Picking up the ball inside his own half, the winger drove toward the edge of the Belgian penalty area before curling a precise shot past goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
Despite missing captain Kylian Mbappé—who returned to Real Madrid after sustaining a left knee injury during Friday's win against Turkey—France created the clearer openings throughout the contest. Désiré Doué struck the crossbar in the first half, while debutant Lucas Da Cunha hit the post shortly after the restart.
The victory leaves France top of Group A1 with six points from two matches. Les Bleus will host Italy at the Stade de France on Friday, while Belgium, who next face Turkey in Liège, look to rebound from the home defeat.
