Michael Olise scores late goal as France leads Belgium in Nations League

Summary

France secured a late victory over Belgium in Brussels on September 28, 2026, thanks to a goal from Michael Olise. The FC Bayern winger, who entered the match as a substitute, netted the decisive strike just before full-time. This win places France at the top of Group 1 in the UEFA Nations League. Olise's goal ended his international scoring drought, which lasted since his hat-trick against Northern Ireland prior to the last World Cup. Zinedine Zidane, in his coaching debut, made notable lineup changes, as several key players missed the match due to injury. France will face Italy next on October 3, 2026.
