France’s national football team delivered a nail-biting 2-1 victory against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League on Monday, proving they’re more than a one-star show without injured captain Kylian Mbappe. Randal Kolo Muani stepped up big time, scoring twice to secure the win in a match packed with drama—from missed penalties to a late red card!
PSG’s Kolo Muani Shines 
The Paris Saint-Germain forward broke the deadlock with a 35th-minute penalty, but Belgium’s Lois Openda leveled the score just before halftime. Undeterred, Kolo Muani fired back with a clutch header in the 61st minute, sealing France’s second straight Nations League win. Talk about a redemption arc!
Late-Game Chaos 
Belgium’s Youri Tielemans missed an early penalty chance, while France’s stand-in captain Aurelien Tchouameni saw red in the dying minutes. But Les Bleus held firm, showing depth even without Mbappe. Could this be a glimpse of France’s next-gen talent?
Bonus highlight: Germany cruised past the Netherlands in another Nations League clash, making this a night of European football fireworks!
