Despite an unbridled final, the Blues did not really force themselves to defeat Israel this Thursday evening in Budapest (1-4).
The French team did not miss out against Israel this Thursday evening in Budapest, as part of the third round of the League of Nations. After a setback at home against Italy (1-3) and a success over Belgium (2-0), the Blues logically disposed of their opponents of the day (1-4), doing better as well as their Italian counterparts and Belgians.
To do this, Didier Deschamps’ men quickly found the fault, on an axial shot from Camavinga and a ball from the Israeli goalkeeper (0-1, 7e). Against all expectations, the Hebrew State responded, however, with generosity in the withdrawal of the French defense and a placed header from Gandelman (1-1, 24e). But the Blues were quick to regain the advantage thanks to a nice breakthrough from Nkunku, then credited with his first goal under the flags (1-2, 28e).
Guendouzi doubly decisive
The clocks thus reset, the debates then fell into relative torpor – neither Dembélé, nor Kolo Muani, nor even Olise, all starters for the occasion, having managed to shine in the end. Quite the opposite of two entrants who in barely a quarter of an hour were able to distinguish themselves and push France to add a little more to the bill.
Guendouzi, first, benefited from an assist from T. Hernandez to increase the score (1-3, 87e). Then Barcola in the process, on an offering from the same Guendouzi, punctuated the mark (1-4, 89e). These two, like Camavinga, now have two French achievements to their credit. So here are the Blues flanked by six units in this League of Nations group, one point behind the Italian leader and two steps ahead of the Red Devils who the Maignan and others will challenge in Brussels next Monday.
