Highlights - Kean's header! (1-1, 81st) - Rabiot beats Donnarumma! (1-1, 70th) - BOOM! ITALY EQUALIZES! - BOOM! OLISE SCORES FOR THE BLUES! - Let's go again! - It's the break!

(0-0, 8th) - Let's go! - Huge ovation for Zidane during the team announcements - The France squad: Zidane continues to rotate, Dembélé and Olise start Dembélé doesn't make it (1-1, 83rd) Little in view, Dembélé tries to force the decision. He taps with his left foot, but his shot from mid-range misses the frame very clearly. Yellow card for Vergara (1-1, 83rd) The Italian winger is warned for a late intervention. Kean's header! (1-1, 81st) A big chance for Italy! After a long touch from Kayode, the ball comes back to Vergara, who crosses at the second post. Kean is in the reception, his header is well deflected by Kean. Double change for Italy (1-1, 80th) Esposito and Frattesi are replaced by Maldini and Doumbia. Upamecano presses too much (1-1, 78th) The Blues want to regain rhythm. Upamecano wants to break lines and launch Barcola to the left, but his pass is too heavy and goes out of play. Double change for the Blues (1-1, 76th) Doué and Cherki are replaced by Barcola and Camavinga. Upamecano and Kean warned (1-1, 73rd) The tension rises between the two men, who each receive a yellow card. The French defender will be suspended on Monday against Belgium. Rabiot beats Donnarumma! (1-1, 70th) The Blues try to react. Rabiot is served in the box, his cross is well-placed, but Donnarumma makes a superb save to save his team. BOOM! ITALY EQUALIZES! Cold snap at the Stade de France! Served by Rabiot, Da Cunha is pressed by Bastoni and loses the ball in front of him. The Italian defender wins his duel with Maignan with a lot of composure. Olise misses his pass (1-0, 67th) The Blues continue in front. Cherki serves Olise who wants to divert with a touch to Dembélé, but the French scorer's pass is poorly timed. We are still enjoying Olise's free kick Doué finds no one (1-0, 65th) There is a lack of French presence in the box in this attack led by Doué. The center of the French winger is easily pushed back by Scalvini. Olise's free kick seen by the stands Double change for Italy (1-0, 63rd) Barella and Vergara replace Tonali and Esposito. Zidane continues to push his players (1-0, 61st) Still standing in front of the bench, Zidane urges his players to hold the ball and keep control. The Blues want to continue (1-0, 58th) Driven by the Stade de France, the French team keeps control and continues to play high against a directionless Italy. BOOM! OLISE SCORES FOR THE BLUES! The French team realizes its highlight! On this free kick, Cherki passes Olise, who fools Donnarumma with a superb curled left-footed shot. The ball bounces on the underside of the crossbar before going into the net. The Stade de France explodes with joy, so does Zinédine Zidane. Yellow card for Fagioli (0-0, 54th) The Italian midfielder is warned for a deliberate foul on Cherki in front of the box. A good free kick to come for the Blues. Calafiori well placed (0-0, 53rd) The Italians suffer and content themselves to ward off the French attacks. Kalulu is served on the right, but his low cross goes directly to Calafiori's feet at the near post. It's Olise's turn! (0-0, 50th) The Blues are in a highlight! Olise enters the box, fixes Calafiori and curls a beautiful left-footed shot, but Donnarumma makes another saving parry. Doué and Dembélé beat Donnarumma! (0-0, 48th) The double chance for the French team. Doué taps again and shoots from a distance. Donnarumma makes a good save but deflects to Dembélé, who scores on the Italian goalkeeper. Doué misses his pass (0-0, 47th) The Blues project quickly forward. Doué makes a superb control and taps in the center. He tries to find Cherki on his right, but his poorly timed pass is recovered by the Italian defense. Let's go again! Italy starts the second half! No changes to report during the break. Koné, Camavinga and Koundé warm up As the two teams return to the pitch, Koné, Camavinga, and Koundé warmed up on the pitch during the break. Zinédine Zidane could quickly call upon them in the second half. Powerless Blues in front Like a very scattered Cherki, the Blues lacked precision in front. No chances to report for the French team in the first half. It's the break! (0-0, HT) Both teams return to the dressing rooms, with the score at 0-0! The Blues dominated but conceded the only chances of a first half that were not very exciting. Saved by Maignan at the start of the match, the French team finds no solutions to surprise a very solid cross-Alpine defense. Frattesi misses his shot (0-0, 44th) The Italians finish the first half well. Frattesi receives the ball and tries his luck from mid-range, but his cross is too wide and misses the frame clearly. Goal denied to Kean! (0-0, 41st) Oh Kean thinks he will score by fooling Maignan up close, but his goal is logically invalidated for offside position. Frattesi's shot! (0-0, 39th) Another big chance for Italy! On a long touch, the ball comes to Frattesi's feet, whose redirection by Jacquet misses the frame by a hair. Dembélé countered (0-0, 39th) The Italians defend very well in their box. After Doué, it's Dembélé who is countered by Calafiori. Donnarumma is not involved for the moment. Doué struggles to recover (0-0, 36th) Fear for Doué, who complains about his shoulder after suffering a clean tackle from Esposito. The French winger takes time to recover, but he will finally be able to get back on his feet. Cherki too soft (0-0, 34th) Olise is served on the right and manages to slip the ball between Calafiori's legs to launch Cherki into the box. The Manchester City player is finally stopped by Bastoni's authoritative intervention and has to concede the goal. Donnarumma calm (0-0, 32nd) New corner for the Blues. Doué takes charge, but his long cross to the second post is easily caught by Donnarumma. Esposito shoots… beside the ball (0-0, 30th) The Italians take advantage of a lost ball by Da Cunha to advance towards the box. Calafiori's shot is blocked but the ball comes back into Esposito's run, who completely misses his attempt to recover. Jacquet doesn't take risks (0-0, 28th) On a ball lingering in the box, Jacquet plays safe and pushes the danger very far away. The Italian attackers were not far. The Blues get the second (0-0, 25th) The French team has regained the game in the last few minutes. The Blues are again in the opponent's camp, but they cannot find any clear chances for now. Italy resists (0-0, 23rd) The Blues get two consecutive corners, the second after a cross from Olise deflected on the bar. It's always played on the ground, but the cross-Alpine defense manages to ward off the danger. The Stade de France in support (0-0, 21st) This match did not start at a fast pace. Chances to ignite are rare, but the Stade de France increases the volume to push the Blues. Maignan's save in video Olise misses his pass (0-0, 17th) The French attacks lack precision. Olise moves into the center, but his cross to the second post is much too deep. The ball bounces and goes out of the goal. Truffert solid (0-0, 17th) Kayode is served in the box again. This time, the Italian full-back tries to make a difference with his foot, but he is stopped by Truffert's good intervention. Frattesi outpaces Doué (0-0, 15th) Kalulu pulls away on the right and manages to cross to the second post. Frattesi manages to get in the way to prevent Doué from making his shot. Italy is better (0-0, 13th) After an unsettling start, Italy shows a little more control and manages to hold the ball better. The cross-Alpine block is no longer as low. Zidane appreciates Dembélé's pressing (0-0, 11th) Promoted captain tonight, Dembélé does not manage his efforts and makes a huge press, especially on Donnarumma. Zinédine Zidane appreciates and applauds his player. Maignan's save! (0-0, 8th) What a chance for Italy! On an action driven by a long turnover from Frattesi, Kayode is served in the box, his cross is perfect for Kean at the second post. The former Parisian is alone against the goal, but his header is deflected by Maignan. Olise trapped (0-0, 7th) Jacquet plays long to launch Olise behind Calafiori, but the French winger was clearly offside. Relive La Marseillaise The Blues already in place (0-0, 4th) The French team immediately took control of the game in this start to the match, against withdrawn Italians. The Blues' play leans to the left, Doué still seems to have fire in his legs. Rabiot plays too long (0-0, 2nd) Rabiot carries the ball in Italian territory and extends to launch Truffert to the left, but his pass is too deep and goes out of the goal. Let's go! The Blues start the game! Good match with us! A vibrant Marseillaise The Stade de France played La Marseillaise in unison. A very special moment for Zinédine Zidane, standing in front of his bench. But also for Ousmane Dembélé, promoted captain tonight. "Zizou, welcome home," the teams' entrance French and Italians enter the pitch, in a big atmosphere.
