The French football team travels to Budapest (Hungary) at the Bozsik Arena to face Israel, during the 3rd day of the group stage of the Nations League, this Thursday, October 10 at 8:45 p.m.
A match to follow live here:
45e : Israel launches the start of this second period. At the break of the other match, Italy leads 2-1 against Belgium but is outnumbered.
MI-TIME : ISRAEL 1 – 2 France. The French team is logically in front at the break. Well launched by a ball from Glozer on a shot from Camavinga, the Blues took their foot off the gas and Israel equalized with a superb header from Gandelman. Nkunku quickly put the Blues back in front. They have been in control since this second goal.
45e : there will be two minutes of added time.
43e : corner for the French, the ball is pushed back into the axis but Camavinga’s recovery is completely unscrewed.
40e : the Blues are very attentive and always confiscate the ball from the Israelis.
35e: Olise also wants his goal in this meeting and takes his chance at the entrance to the area, off-center on the right. His curling shot misses Glozer’s right post.
33e: France does not make the same mistake as after the first goal and continues to keep the ball to find the fault for the third goal.
28e : ISRAEL 1 – 2 FRANCE. Camavinga finds Nkunku at the entrance to the penalty area with his back to goal. The Chelsea striker shifts the ball while turning around, takes advantage of the favorable counterattack and exploits his speed to appear alone against Glozer and deceive him with a shot under the Israeli goalkeeper. Nkunku scores his first goal in the blue jersey.
26e : the Israelis will have scored against Belgium, Italy and therefore France in this group 2. Italy doubled the lead in its confrontation with Belgium.
24e: ISRAEL 1 – 1 FRANCE. On a long ball from Gloukh in the middle, Gandelman finds himself between the two central defenders and can adjust his header which Maignan can only deflect onto his returning post while retreating. Everything has to be redone.
20e : the Israelis have had the ball a little more for a few minutes and in particular Gloukh who tries to dribble on Koundé but Olise comes to help him.
17e : first warning of the match for Camavinga for a major anti-play fault. Caught in control of the ball, the French midfielder hangs on and tackles his opponent.
14e : each incursion of the Blues brings danger. Dembélé found at the far post on the right side crossed quickly but was cleared by the Israeli defense. Glazer calmly takes the corner.
11e : France leaves the ball a little more to Israel but Dembélé recovers in his camp, makes a big bridge before serving Nkunku who puts it back in the area, his shot is not reduced enough to catch the target.
7e : perfect start from the Blues who quickly opened the scoring. In the other meeting of this group 2, Italy also leads Belgium (1-0).
5e : ISRAEL 0 – 1 FRANCE. While the Blues were looking for the loophole, Camavinga tried his luck at 20m. His crushed shot takes a small bounce in front of goalkeeper Glazer who gets his hands tangled and the ball crosses the goal line.
2e: France confiscates the ball and spins around the Israeli bloc.
0e : it is the France team which kicks off this match.
H – 5′ : France will play in its white away jersey while Israel will play this match in blue.
H – 15′ : Didier Deschamps put together a team with a classic rearguard: Maignan being protected by Saliba and Konaté in the center, Hernandez and Koundé occupying the sides. The midfielder will be from Madrid with Tchouaméni and Camavinga who will be ahead of Olise positioned behind Kolo Muani, Nkunku and Dembélé taking the wings.

H – 30′ : in this group 2, of League A, of this League of Nations, France occupies second place after losing its opening match against Italy (1-3) before making up for it against Belgium (2-0 ). The Blues will travel to Belgium on Monday evening to close this second phase of the Nations League.
H – 45′ : on the sporting side, the two teams have not faced each other since the qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup. The oppositions ended in two draws (0-0, 1-1). In nine confrontations, the Blues have won 4 times for 4 draws and one defeat (2-3 in 1993).
H – 60′ : it is in a particular context that the Blues return to the League of Nations. Relocated to Hungary, in a small stadium with 8,500 seats, this meeting classified as risky in view of events in the Middle East will be anything but a walk in the park for the French. Indeed, the climate is not the most serene in the French team with the recent announcement of Griezmann’s retirement and the imbroglio surrounding the Mbappe case: captain left to rest but who finally started in the championship with Real Madrid.
