France vs Italy Highlights 1-1 MICHAEL OLISE FREE-KICK Goal & bastoni Goal! Uefa Nations League

France were held to a 1-1 draw by Italy in their third Nations League group game at the Stade de France, marking Zinedine Zidane's first dropped points as head coach after back-to-back away wins over Turkey and Belgium. Michael Olise produced a moment of magic in the 55th minute, curling a short free-kick into the top corner after a clever lay-off from Rayan Cherki. Italy responded in the 68th minute when Alessandro Bastoni capitalised on a costly error from Lucas Da Cunha, intercepting the ball and finishing clinically past Mike Maignan. Gianluigi Donnarumma was the visitors' hero, producing eight saves including a stunning double stop to deny Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue. France's night got worse in the 85th minute when Dayot Upamecano received a second yellow card for pulling back Moise Kean, reducing the hosts to ten men. Italy nearly snatched a winner late on through Nicolo Barella and Antonio Vergara, but Maignan stood firm. France dominated possession with 65 percent and registered 18 shots to Italy's 14, yet the visitors edged the expected goals battle 1.46 to 1.21. After three matches, France lead Group A1 with seven points, while Italy sit third on four. Zidane said he was disappointed but proud of his players. Can France bounce back against Belgium on Monday.
