Michael Olise struck a stunning solo goal deep into stoppage time to give France a 1-0 win away to Belgium, keeping Zinedine Zidane's perfect start to life as national team coach intact. Roberto Mancini also picked up his first victory since returning as Italy boss, thrashing Türkiye 4-1 in Bursa.

Viktor Gyökeres was on target again, having also scored in Sweden's opening win against Romania on September 25. They beat Poland to make it two wins from two. Here's how Matchday 2 unfolded, and what's coming next.

Belgium 0-1 France — Olise's Late Winner in Brussels

Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise settled a tense Group A1 contest with a moment of pure quality, driving from inside his own half before cutting past Belgian defender Maxim De Cuyper and finishing low into the corner in the 88th minute. Zidane made nine changes to the side that beat Türkiye in his first match in charge, with only Mike Maignan and Chelsea's Maxence Lacroix retaining their places.

France were without captain Kylian Mbappé, who had returned to Real Madrid for treatment to a knee injury sustained while scoring the winner against Türkiye. Both sides created first-half chances, with Paris Saint-Germain's Désiré Doué striking the crossbar for France and Como debutant Lucas Da Cunha later hitting the post.

The win extends Zidane's perfect record to two wins from two matches and sends France to the top of Group A1.
