PARIS, Oct 5 (Reuters) - France came from a goal down ⁠to beat Belgium 4-1 in their Nations League Group A1 meeting at the Stade de France on Monday, while Italy secured ⁠a 3-1 win over Turkey, their third consecutive match without a loss.

Zinedine Zidane secured his first home win in charge, three ‌days after a 1-1 draw against Italy, thanks to his substitutes.

Belgium's Dodi Lukebakio put the visitors ahead in the 35th minute, but DesireDoue, Rayan Cherki and Michael Olise, all on the bench at kickoff, turned the match on its head in the final 15 minutes.

Douelevelled with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box in the 77th minute. Four minutes ​later, Cherki put his side in front, finishing from an Olise cross. Olise then completed ⁠a brace from close range just before and during ⁠stoppage time.

"That's football, that's what we love. There were difficulties, but that's part of the game, part of the kinds of matches you can ⁠have," ‌Zidane told TF1.

"It's good to put things right, and that's what we did with an extraordinary second half. We were just missing that final few metres in the first half, but then we turned the match around, it was good."

Belgium took the lead when Lukebakio broke clear ⁠of a defence that was stepping up for offside to latch onto a long ​pass from Romeo Lavia, before scoring in a ‌one-on-one with Guillaume Restes, who was earning his first cap.

The 2018 World Cup winners, playing without captain Kylian Mbappe, controlled possession ⁠but failed to create chances ​against a packed defensive block, making it an eighth consecutive match without scoring in the first half.

Then Olise and Cherki came off the bench on the hour mark, 12 minutes before Doue, and France became more dangerous.

"We played well at the end; in the first half it was difficult against their low block. After that we ⁠kept going and it was good in the end," Olise told TF1.

"It's a team ​effort, Zidane brings ideas and we follow them. We're going to keep going like this."

After Maarten Vandevoordt, who was also winning his first cap, denied efforts from Bradley Barcola, Esteban Lepaul, Olise and Cherki, the Belgian goalkeeper was unable to stop Doue's strike.

The Paris St Germain winger levelled with a left-footed shot ⁠across goal from the edge of the box.

Four minutes later, Olise began his masterclass. He first delivered a cross for Cherki to score before completing a quickfire double from close range within three minutes to give France a resounding victory.

Italy's victory over Turkey came with Gianluca Scamacca, Riccardo Calafiori and Pio Esposito scoring, while Aral Simsir had earlier equalised just after the hour mark.

Scamacca scored the opener with a close‑range volley that hit the crossbar ​before crossing the line.

Simsir levelled at the far post at the end of a beautiful team move ⁠from the Turks, but three minutes later Calafiori's header from a Nicolo Barella free kick restored Italy's lead.

Esposito scored the final goal afterIssa Doumbia and Alessandro ​Romano had both failed to convert.

"Even though we had made a lot of changes, there was ‌fatigue all around, and we struggled a bit," coach Roberto Mancini told ​RAI.

"But we did well to score, and then to score again right after they equalised."

France sit top with 10 points, three ahead of Italy and four clear of Belgium. Turkey are bottom with four defeats from four matches.

足球 - 欧洲国家联赛 - A1组 - 法国对阵比利时 - 法国圣丹尼斯法兰西体育场 - 2026年10月5日 法国球员米歇尔·奥利斯与德西雷·杜埃庆祝打入球队第三球 路透社/贝努瓦·泰西耶

巴黎，10 月 5 日（路透社）——周一，在法兰西体育场举行的欧洲国家联赛 A1 组比赛中，法国队在落后一球的情况下以 4-1 击败比利时队，而意大利队则以 3-1 战胜土耳其队，取得了连续第三场不败的战绩。

齐达内凭借替补球员的出色发挥，在与意大利1-1战平三天后，取得了执教以来的首场主场胜利。

比利时队的多迪·卢克巴基奥在第 35 分钟为客队首开纪录，但开球时都在替补席上的德西雷·杜埃、拉扬·切尔基和迈克尔·奥利塞在最后 15 分钟扭转了比赛局势。

第77分钟，杜埃在禁区边缘左脚劲射扳平比分。四分钟后，切尔基接奥利塞传中破门，帮助球队反超比分。随后，奥利塞在伤停补时阶段和补时前近距离梅开二度。

“这就是足球，这就是我们所热爱的。比赛中遇到了一些困难，但这正是比赛的一部分，也是比赛中可能遇到的各种情况之一，”齐达内告诉TF1电视台。

“扭转局面是好事，我们凭借下半场的出色表现做到了这一点。上半场我们总是差那么一点点，但下半场我们扭转了比赛局势，这很好。”

比利时取得领先，当时卢克巴基奥摆脱了因越位而上前防守的球员，接到罗密欧·拉维亚的长传，随后单刀面对首次代表国家队出战的吉约姆·雷斯特斯破门得分。

2018 年世界杯冠军球队在缺少队长姆巴佩的情况下，控制了球权，但面对密集的防守未能创造出机会，连续第八场比赛上半场未能进球。

然后，奥利塞和切尔基在比赛进行到一小时时替补上场，比杜埃早12分钟，法国队变得更加危险。

“我们最后阶段打得很好；上半场面对他们的低位防守很困难。之后我们坚持了下来，最终取得了胜利，”奥利塞告诉TF1电视台。

“这是团队合作的成果，齐达内提出想法，我们执行。我们会继续这样下去。”

在马尔滕·范德沃特（Maarten Vandevoordt，也是第一次代表国家队出战）扑出了布拉德利·巴尔科拉（Bradley Barcola）、埃斯特班·勒保罗（Esteban Lepaul）、奥利塞（Olise）和切尔基（Cherki）的射门之后，这位比利时门将未能阻止杜埃（Doue）的射门。

巴黎圣日耳曼边锋在禁区边缘用左脚射门，将比分扳平。

四分钟后，奥利塞开始了大师级的表现。他先是传中助攻切尔基破门，随后在三分钟内近距离梅开二度，帮助法国队取得了一场酣畅淋漓的胜利。

意大利战胜土耳其的比赛中，詹卢卡·斯卡马卡、里卡多·卡拉菲奥里和皮奥·埃斯波西托分别进球，而阿拉尔·西姆西尔在比赛进行到一小时后不久扳平了比分。

斯卡马卡近距离凌空抽射，皮球击中横梁后越过球门线，为球队首开纪录。

土耳其队一次漂亮的团队配合后，西姆西尔在远门柱扳平比分，但三分钟后，卡拉菲奥里接尼科洛·巴雷拉的任意球头球破门，帮助意大利队重新取得领先。

埃斯波西托在伊萨·杜姆比亚和亚历山德罗·罗马诺均未能破门得分后，打入了最后一球。

“尽管我们做出了很多改变，但大家都很疲惫，我们踢得有点吃力，”教练罗伯托·曼奇尼告诉 RAI。

“但我们进球做得很好，而且在他们扳平比分后我们又立刻再次进球。”

法国队以10分位居榜首，领先意大利3分，领先比利时4分。土耳其队四战全败，排名垫底。
