Match Recap

Belgium led France for over half the match before Michael Olise buried any doubt with a stoppage-time brace that turned a nervy afternoon into a rout. Dodi Lukebakio's 35th-minute strike had Belgium ahead and composed, but France answered with four unanswered goals, Désiré Doue breaking the deadlock in the 77th minute, Rayan Cherki doubling it four minutes later, then Olise finishing the job twice late on to seal a 4-1 scoreline that flattered no one but the hosts. It extends France's perfect record over Belgium in their only previous meeting, and keeps them top of their UEFA Nations League group on seven points, one clear of Belgium despite both sides winning their last two. Olise already led the league's scoring charts before kickoff; two more goals in one night only widens that gap. What started as a contest ended as a statement. Watch Olise's second, a cold finish deep into injury time that summed up the gulf between these two sides on the night.
