Kolo Muani double

Randal Kolo Muani scored both goals for France in their 2-1 victory over Belgium in the Nations League, maintaining their chances for quarter-final qualification. After Kolo Muani converted a penalty in the 35th minute following a handball from Wout Faes, Belgium equalized shortly before halftime with a header from Lois Openda. Kolo Muani's second goal came just after the hour mark, and France held on despite being reduced to ten men after Aurélien Tchouaméni's red card. The match highlighted ongoing concerns about player workload, especially with stars like Kylian Mbappé absent due to injury. France remains in a solid position in their group, needing only a point from their next match against Israel to advance. Belgium's lack of a win against France in competitive matches now extends to 43 years.
