France are expected to have an exciting match when they host bottom-placed Israel in the penultimate round of the Nations League group stage. Coach Deschamps’ players attacked right after the opening whistle.

Kolo Muani had the first dangerous opportunity but his header was blocked by the Israeli goalkeeper. Immediately after that, Kante also had a chance with a tricky shot but the goal still did not come for the home team.

The first half ended goalless. In the second half, France continued to put pressure on Israel while they fought back. Despite having the ball a lot but being stuck, coach Deschamps made substitutions in an attempt to score.

France continued to put pressure on the visitors but could not score as the Israeli defence played with determination and solidity.

At the end of the first half, Michael Olise and Ngolo Kante had more long-range opportunities and combined attacks, but it was not enough to open the scoring. The first half ended 0-0, with France dominating possession but unable to find a way to break down the Israeli defence.

However, Thuram and Nkunku were unable to beat the opposing goalkeeper. In the end, France was held to a 0-0 draw by Israel. Despite this, Deschamps’ team still officially qualified for the Nations League quarter-finals as Belgium lost to Italy.
