France secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Belgium in their Group stage match of the UEFA Nations League. While the win itself was satisfying, it was also marked by two notable achievements.
This triumph extended France’s winning streak against Belgium to six consecutive matches. This series, which began in 2018, stands as France’s longest active winning run against a single opponent. The national team also holds a similar six-game winning streak against the Faroe Islands.
The decisive goal came late in the game, with Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise scoring in the 88th minute. Throughout the match, Les Bleus dominated possession and displayed exceptional passing accuracy. According to Opta statistics, France set a new record for the highest passing accuracy in away matches since data collection began, completing 92.8% of their passes.
