Olise scores late to grab France 1-0 Nations League win at Belgium
Bayern Munich star Olise set off from inside his own half to score the winner in the 88th minute.
Michael Olise’s magnificent late strike gave France a 1-0 victory in Belgium in the UEFA Nations League as Zinedine Zidane made it two wins out of two since being named coach.
Bayern Munich star Olise, who was one of the outstanding players at the World Cup where France reached the semifinals, came off the bench late on with the game in Brussels on Monday goalless, and set off from inside his own half to score the winner in the 88th minute.
The win follows a 1-0 success away to Turkiye last Friday in Zidane’s first game at the helm after succeeding Didier Deschamps as France coach following the World Cup.
The French lineup at the King Baudouin Stadium showed nine changes, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix the only players to keep their places.
