France anticipated an exciting match as they hosted bottom-placed Israel in the second-to-last round of the Nations League group stage. Coach Deschamps’ squad went on the offensive right from the kickoff.

Kolo Muani created the first real threat with a powerful header, but the Israeli goalkeeper made a critical save. Moments later, Kante tried a challenging shot, yet France still couldn’t break through for a goal.

The first half concluded without a goal. In the second half, France maintained pressure on Israel, who responded with resilience.

Despite their dominance, Coach Deschamps opted for substitutions to shake things up and find a scoring edge.

France kept up the intensity, yet Israel’s defense held strong and disciplined. Michael Olise and Ngolo Kante created long-range attempts and coordinated attacks late in the first half, but none succeeded in breaching Israel’s defense, leaving the score at 0-0.

Thuram and Nkunku continued efforts to beat the opposing goalkeeper but came up short. Ultimately, France had to settle for a 0-0 draw. Nevertheless, Deschamps’ team advanced to the Nations League quarter-finals, thanks to Belgium’s loss to Italy.
