Without making a big impression, the Blues got the job done by dominating Israel this Thursday in Budapest (4-1). Their second victory in a row in the Nations League after dominating Belgium last month, which they will meet again this Monday.
Without Mbappé or Griezmann, the Blues advanced without much offensive certainty against the weakest opponent in their group. Camavinga opened the scoring thanks to the help of the Israeli goalkeeper: the shot from the Real Madrid midfielder, not very strong, still ended up in the net, Glazer releasing the ball behind the line (7th).
But waiting in defense, the French were trapped on an excellent cross from Gloukh coming from afar, the central defenders were lobbed and Gandelman placed a beautiful header which Maignan braked without preventing the goal (24th).
The scare was short-lived, as Nkunku deceived the Israeli goalkeeper after a good shift from Camavinga and a well-aimed ball catch in the area (28th).
In management and diligent in defense, the Blues finally made the hole at the end of the match: Guendouzi (87th) and Barcola (89th), coming into play, made it possible to increase the score, almost flattering as the attack seemed to play so weakly pace.
