October 11, (THEWILL) – France continued their impressive form in the UEFA Nations League, closing a 4-1 victory against Israel in a match played on neutral ground in Hungary. This win marks France’s second consecutive triumph in the competition, solidifying their position in League A.
The French team wasted no time asserting their dominance, taking the lead within the first 10 minutes. Eduardo Camavinga’s strike from outside the box proved too difficult for Israeli goalkeeper Omri Glazer to handle, resulting in an early advantage for France.
Despite the setback, Israel managed to equalise through Omri Gandelman, who scored his maiden international goal. However, their joy was short-lived as Christopher Nkunku swiftly restored France’s lead with a skillful individual effort, outmanoeuvring the Israeli defence and slotting the ball past Glazer.
As the match progressed, France’s superiority became increasingly evident. Their dominance was further emphasised when Mattéo Guendouzi found the back of the net following an assist from Theo Hernández. The final blow came in the closing moments of the game, with Bradley Barcola adding a fourth goal to complete the rout.
This defeat leaves Israel in a precarious position, having lost all three of their matches in League A. The result suggests they may face relegation to the second tier of the UEFA Nations League, while France continue to demonstrate their quality on the international stage.
