The match was extremely exciting with two penalties and the referee showing a red card.

Belgium host France in the fourth round of the UEFA Nations League group stage. Both sides are missing their best strikers.

The home team is without Lukaku and De Bruyne while on the other side, Mbappe is not playing.

In the first minute, Tielemans had a chance to open the score but his shot was too weak. In the 20th minute, the Belgian team was awarded a penalty after consulting the VAR team. Unfortunately, Tielemans kicked the ball into the sky from a distance of 11m.

While Belgium was playing well and had many opportunities, the unexpected happened. In the 34th minute, the home defender let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Kolo Muani confidently finished and brought the opening goal. After conceding a painful goal, Belgium pressed forward and their efforts were soon rewarded. In the first minute of injury time of the first half, Openka jumped high and headed the equalizer for the home team.

In the second half, France stepped up their attacks in search of a goal. In the 58th minute, Kone put the ball into the net but the referee disallowed it due to handball. However, France still took the lead for the second time after Kolo Muani’s header.

In the 75th minute, France was down to 10 men as Tchouameni received a second yellow card. Belgium tried to find an equalizer in the final minutes but failed and had to accept defeat at home.
