France secured a hard-fought victory over Belgium with Michael Olise's late strike proving decisive in what marked Zidane's second match since returning to the coaching role. The goal capped an impressive performance that demonstrated the French team's attacking prowess and composure in the closing stages.
Zidane's tenure has begun promisingly with consecutive victories, signaling early success in his long-anticipated appointment. The former Real Madrid manager has quickly established his tactical influence on the squad, with the team demonstrating improved cohesion and attacking efficiency.
Elsewhere, Italy rebounded from recent disappointment with a strong showing in Turkey, as European football continued to deliver compelling encounters. The results across the international fixtures reflected the intensifying competition among top national teams.
Olise's contribution in the decisive moment highlighted France's depth in attacking talent and their ability to capitalize on opportunities late in matches. Zidane will look to build on this momentum as France prepares for upcoming fixtures in their campaign.
