Zidane made nine changes to the starting lineup following their previous win against Turkey. Operating without captain Kylian Mbappé, who missed the fixture due to a knee injury, France struggled to convert early opportunities. Désiré Doué generated five shot attempts, including an effort that struck the crossbar, while Belgium's Mika Godts and Dodi Lukebakio posed persistent threats on the counter. The deadlock was broken in the 88th minute when Olise controlled the ball in his own half, accelerated past the Belgian defensive line, and placed a clinical finish into the bottom corner. The victory keeps France at the top of Group A1 ahead of their upcoming fixture against Italy on Friday, while Belgium prepares to face Turkey.
