France scores four late goals to beat Belgium 4–1

France scored four goals from the 77th minute onward to beat Belgium 4–1 at the Stade de France on October 5. Michael Olise finished with two goals after fellow substitutes Désiré Doué and Rayan Cherki had overturned the visitors’ lead.

Dodi Lukébakio put Belgium ahead in the 35th minute, and the visitors kept that advantage through halftime. Zinédine Zidane then brought on Olise and Cherki before adding Doué later in the second half.

Doué equalized in the 77th minute and Cherki made it 2–1 four minutes later. Olise scored in the 88th minute and again in stoppage time to complete the comeback, according to the French federation’s match record.

The win kept France unbeaten in Group A1. It followed the separate 1–0 victory in Belgium on September 28, when Olise also supplied the decisive goal.
