Italy recover from early setback to beat France 3–1 in Milan
Italy came from behind to defeat France 3–1 in Milan on November 12, ending Zinédine Zidane’s unbeaten start as France coach.
Michael Olise put France ahead before Pio Esposito equalised. Davide Frattesi then gave Italy the lead, and Esposito’s second goal, a penalty, completed the scoring.
France hit the woodwork twice during a contest that left both sides on ten points in Nations League Group A1. Belgium’s victory over Türkiye means the two quarter-final places remain contested heading into the final round.
