Olise Sparks France Comeback With Stunning Cameo Against Belgium
Michael Olise produced a sensational late cameo as France turned the game around to thrash Belgium 4–1, with the Bayern Munich star once again demonstrating his ability to transform matches from the bench.

France initially found themselves in trouble after Dodi Lukebakio put Belgium ahead in the first half. The visitors appeared capable of frustrating Zinedine Zidane’s side, but France dramatically changed the contest after the interval.
The introduction of Olise proved crucial. Coming on with France searching for a way back into the game, the winger immediately injected pace, creativity and unpredictability into the French attack.
France eventually found their equaliser through Désiré Doué, before Rayan Cherki completed the turnaround. Olise then took centre stage, producing a decisive attacking contribution as France continued to overwhelm a Belgium side that had looked comfortable earlier in the evening.
The comeback gathered unstoppable momentum, with France adding further goals to complete a remarkable 4–1 victory. Olise put the finishing touch on the performance with a late goal of his own, capping a devastating spell for the hosts.
For Olise, the performance further strengthens his reputation as one of France’s most dangerous attacking weapons. His ability to enter a match and immediately influence the tempo gives Zidane another important option, particularly when opponents begin to tire.
The victory also showcased the depth available to the new France boss. Despite falling behind, Zidane was able to turn to his substitutes and watch them completely change the direction of the contest.
Olise’s performance will therefore be one of the biggest talking points from the night. What began as a difficult evening for France ended with a spectacular comeback and the Bayern star was at the heart of it.
