Lukebakio Scores to Give Belgium the Lead Against France
Belgium has taken a surprising lead away in France thanks to a precise finish from Dodi Lukebakio.
Both teams are concluding their international fixtures with their fourth Nations League matches. Group A1 is closely contested, and the winner of this game will advance to the top position.
France won the previous encounter in Belgium 1-0 last week. Again, the visitors have scored just before halftime.
Romeo Lavia secured the ball deep in Belgium's territory and delivered a pass that split the defense for Lukebakio. He converted the opportunity without error.
This goal currently places the Red Devils at the summit of Group A1. France has dropped to third place following Italy's lead against Turkey.
