The UEFA Nations League has played a number of games and played some crazy dramas. France beat Israel 4-1 away from home without Mbappe. The attacking pairing of France in this game is Muani, Nkunku, Olise and Dembele. France got off to a good start, opening the scoring with Camavinga's long-range shot in the seventh minute. Gandelman equalised for Israel in the 24th minute.
However, soon Israel conceded again. Nkunku scores from a tight angle. It was Nkunku's first goal for the France national team. In the final stages of the game, Guendouzi and Barcola scored one goal each to blow Israel up. The final score was 4-1! As the world's No. 2 superpowerhouse, France without Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann still has extraordinary strength. France will face Belgium next.
Italy faced Belgium at home on the night and ended up with just one draw. Italy got off to a very good start with Cambiaso scoring for Italy just after the opening. Then, Retegui scored in front of the goal to extend the score. With less than 25 minutes played, Italy had established a two-goal lead. However, Pellegrini was sent off for a foul and was sent off later, causing Italy to have one less man to play. As a result, Italy, who were outnumbered, conceded a succession of goals, first by Dirk Yper, and then by Trossard. In the end, Italy had to accept a 2-2 finish. This is the first time since 1978 that Italy have been drawn by two goals at home!
England, on the other hand, had the biggest upset of the night, losing at home to Greece. Pavlidis was brilliant in the game, scoring the back of the net against England in the 49th minute. Bellingham managed to equalise in the 87th minute. Unexpectedly, Pavlidis stepped up again in stoppage time and scored the winning goal! The final score was set at 1-2, with England losing to Greece. It was the first time England had ever lost to Greece, or at home, which was a shame. Pavlidis was undoubtedly the man of the match, scoring two goals from four shots and single-handedly kicking England with his own power! England prodigy Phil Foden was once again disastrous as he suffered a 15-game goal drought for England.
