Sept 28 (Reuters) - France substitute ⁠MichaelOlise scored two minutes from time as the visitors snatched a late 1-0 win against Belgium ⁠in the Nations League, while Italy returned to winning ways with a thumping 4-1 ‌away triumph over Turkey.

Fortunes ebbed and flowed in Brussels but Olise kept up France coach Zinedine Zidane’s winning start to his new job with a surging run from midway inside the Belgian half before a superb finish to win the Group A1 fixture.

France ​were without captain Kylian Mbappe and Zidane made nine changes to ⁠the side that edged Turkey 1-0 last ⁠week but it was after bringing on the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Rayan Cherki and Olise that ⁠the ‌French turned the game in their favour.

Desire Doue was a persistent danger as he took on the home defence and twice hit the woodwork but Belgium will rue the opportunities they spurned.

Italy ⁠lost last Friday’s opening fixture of their Nations League campaign 2-0 ​at home to Belgium in a ‌false start for Roberto Mancini on his return to the coaching job, but in the ⁠rain in Bursa they ​looked a very different outfit.

Alessandro Bastoni gave the visitors a ninth-minute lead from a corner and 13 minutes later Davide Frattesi pounced on a rebound after Michael Kayode’s shot from the left was parried by goalkeeper Altay Bayındır.

Italy were ⁠3-0 up in the 27th minute as debutant Kayode hit ​home a low effort and the visitors finished the half with 10 attempts such was their dominance.

The frenetic nature of the game continued after the break as Barıs Alper Yılmaz pulled one back for Turkey, who made ⁠three substitutes at halftime, but Italy’s three-goal advantage was restored as Pio Esposito headed home a fourth in the 50th.

Bosnia registered an emphatic 4-2 win away to Romania in Bucharest in Group B4 as former greatGheorghe Hagisuffered another setback on his return to the manager's post.

But Sweden lead the group two points above ​Bosnia after a second home win, this time 3-1 over Poland in ⁠Stockholm.

The two Group B2 fixtures ended goalless with Ukraine away in Georgia and Northern Ireland home to Hungary.

Montenegro's ​Aleksa Latkovic scored a last-minute winner as they won 3-2 in ‌Armenia to move three points clear of their opponents ​on six points atop Group C2 where Latvia and Cyprus drew 0-0 in Riga to each pick up their first point.

9月28日（路透社）——法国替补球员米歇尔·奥利斯在比赛结束前两分钟进球，帮助客队在欧国联比赛中以1-0险胜比利时；与此同时，意大利在客场以4-1大胜土耳其，重返胜利轨道。

在布鲁塞尔，比赛的形势起伏不定，但奥利塞延续了法国队主教练齐达内上任以来的连胜势头，他从比利时半场中路一路狂奔，最终以一记精彩的射门赢得了A1组的比赛。

法国队缺少了队长姆巴佩，齐达内对上周1-0战胜土耳其的阵容进行了9处调整，但正是奥斯曼·登贝莱、拉扬·切尔基和奥利塞等球员的上场，才让法国队扭转了比赛局势。

德西雷·杜埃不断冲击主队防线，两次击中门框，但比利时队将会为他们错失的机会感到遗憾。

上周五，意大利在主场以 0-2 负于比利时，这是罗伯托·曼奇尼重返教练岗位后的一次糟糕的开局，但他们在布尔萨的雨中看起来却判若两队。

亚历山德罗·巴斯托尼在第九分钟利用角球为客队取得领先，13分钟后，达维德·弗拉特西在迈克尔·卡约德从左侧射门被门将阿尔泰·巴因德尔扑出后补射入网。

比赛进行到第 27 分钟，意大利队以 3-0 领先，首次代表国家队出战的凯奥德低射破门。上半场结束时，客队已经完成了 10 次射门，可见他们的优势之大。

中场休息后，比赛的激烈程度依然不减。土耳其队在中场休息时进行了三次换人，巴里斯·阿尔珀·伊尔马兹为土耳其队扳回一球。但意大利队在第50分钟由皮奥·埃斯波西托头球破门，将比分改写为3-0，重新取得领先。

在B4组的比赛中，波黑队在布加勒斯特客场以4-2大胜罗马尼亚队，昔日名帅格奥尔基·哈吉斯重返教练岗位后再次遭遇挫折。

但瑞典队在主场取得第二场胜利后，以 3-1 战胜波兰队，在小组中领先波黑队 2 分。

B2组的两场比赛均以0-0结束，乌克兰客场挑战格鲁吉亚，北爱尔兰主场迎战匈牙利。

黑山队的阿莱克萨·拉特科维奇在比赛最后时刻打入制胜球，帮助球队在客场3-2战胜亚美尼亚，以6分领先对手3分，位居C2组榜首。拉脱维亚和塞浦路斯在里加0-0战平，各自获得第一个积分。
