France scored four goals in the final 13 minutes to come from behind to beat Belgium in the Nations League as Zinedine Zidane maintained his unbeaten start in charge. 06 Oct 2026
Dodi Lukebakio scored Belgium's opening goal after running on to Romeo Lavia's brilliant 60-yard through ball before beating France debutant keeper Guillaume Restes. France kept knocking on the door and eventually levelled when Desire Doue's low shot from outside the box beat Maarten Vandevoordt, making his debut in the Belgium goal. Rayan Cherki put them ahead after being picked out with a cutback from fellow substitute Michael Olise. And Olise scored two late goals himself, both from Doue passes, to maintain his fine form for his country. The Bayern Munich man has now been involved in 17 goals in 16 games for France in 2026. France top Group A1 with 10 points from four games, while Mark van Bommel's Belgium are third on six points. Italy moved up to second place in the group with a 3-1 home win over Turkey. Gianluca Scamacca put Roberto Mancini's side ahead before Aral Simsir levelled. Riccardo Calafiori headed Italy back into the lead and Pio Esposito made the points safe.
Joshua Zirkzee scored the winning goal as the Netherlands beat Serbia to move top of their Nations League group. 05 Oct 2026
The Manchester United forward came on at half-time and restored the hosts' lead in Eindhoven with a tap-in from Tijjani Reijnders' pass across goal. Teun Koopmeiners was one of four Dutch changes, making his first start under Xavi and the Juventus midfielder opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark, finding the far bottom corner with a free-kick whipped through a crowded box from the right. Four minutes later, Mihajlo Cvetkovic rose above Koopmeiners to head past Bart Verbruggen for his first international goal, drawing Serbia level, but Zirkzee would have the decisive say. It was a special night for Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, as the 35-year-old centre-back made his 100th international appearance. Van Dijk's defence mostly thwarted a Serbia side who started strongly but remain winless at the bottom of group A2. Joey Veerman and Reijnders both went close to adding to the Netherlands' tally, but they did not need a third goal. Winning by the same scoreline against Serbia twice in quick succession - having prevailed in Belgrade seven days prior to this latest meeting - puts them in a strong position with two games remaining. New Netherlands head coach Xavi remains unbeaten after four games in charge, with two wins and two draws.
Erling Haaland sparked injury concerns as he limped off in Norway's 2-1 Nations League defeat by Portugal. 05 Oct 2026
The Manchester City striker beckoned to the bench to be substituted in the 67th minute of the Group A4 tie. With seven goals so far this season, the club will await further news as they prepare for a trip to Liverpool on Sunday in the Premier League. It will be their first game since they were found guilty of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations. City have lodged an appeal. Haaland and Norway suffered a third successive Nations League defeat on Sunday as Goncalo Ramos scored a late winner for Portugal, who booked their place in the last eight. The hosts had to come from behind after the visitors took a 36th-minute lead. Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer controlled Martin Odegaard's cross on his chest before hitting a sweet half-volley into the top corner from the edge of the box. But two minutes later Joao Cancelo smashed home a stunning shot on the bounce from a similar distance from Nuno Mendes' long throw-in. Haaland went close for Norway, dragging an effort wide, before he was replaced by Jorgen Strand Larsen. But it was Ramos who sealed a fourth successive win in the competition, stabbing in from close range from Joao Felix's lay-off with 11 minutes left. Portugal ended with 10 men after winger Francisco Conceicao was sent off in the 87th minute for two quickfire bookings for dissent. It was their third game in a row without Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, after the country's record scorer left the camp last week after being dropped. Boss Jorge Jesus plans to discuss the matter with the 41-year-old forward, but said on Sunday: "If he wants to, he'll return to the national team." With two games left in the group stage, defending Nations League champions Portugal are now six points clear of second-placed Denmark, who beat Wales 1-0, while Norway are bottom of the group.
Troy Parrott's latest international goal was not enough to lift the Republic of Ireland to victory as they were held to a draw by Israel in Sunday's Uefa Nations League game in Serbia. 05 Oct 2026
Parrott put the Republic of Ireland ahead before the break with a well-taken penalty - his fourth goal in three games - after Jimmy Dunne was fouled. However, Israel captain Dor Peretz earned his side a point when he poked home from close range after Oscar Gloukh's shot deflected off Liam Scales. Both teams had chances to win the game, which was played behind closed doors at the 4,500-capacity TSC Arena, with Republic of Ireland substitute Chiedozie Ogbene forcing a fine save from Assaf Tzur and Israel twice hitting the woodwork. Following Kosovo and Austria's draw in Pristina earlier on Sunday, the result leaves the Republic of Ireland third in the group, three points off leaders Austria. It also marks the end of a challenging international window for the Republic of Ireland, with the Israel fixtures dominating discourse in Irish football. The fixtures, both played at neutral venues, have been embroiled in controversy since February when the two teams were drawn to play each other in Group B3. The Republic of Ireland players have faced persistent calls to withdraw from the games because of the ongoing Israel-Gaza war with the "Stop The Game" campaign - organised by the pressure group Irish Sport for Palestine - staging protests before and during Thursday's game against Austria in Dublin. However, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) decided to fulfil the fixtures, with the Republic of Ireland winning last week's game in Hungary 3-0. Like last week's match in Debrecen, the two teams did not shake hands and the Irish players bowed their heads when Israel's national anthem was played before kick-off in Backa Topola in northern Serbia. There was also no exchange of pennants or handshake between Republic of Ireland captain Caoimhin Kelleher and Israel skipper Dor Peretz. The Republic of Ireland again wore black armbands which FAI chief executive David Courell previously said was a gesture "in recognition of all lives lost in the [Gaza] conflict". Israel also wore black armbands in memory of those who died in the 7 October 2023 attacks.
Germany's mixed start under new head coach Jurgen Klopp continued with a goalless Nations League draw against Greece in Thessaloniki. 05 Oct 2026
Klopp made three changes as his side looked to avenge a 1-0 loss to Greece in Augsburg last week. But Germany's dominance did not pay off on a night when they had more than 70% of possession and took 21 shots. Greece had the first chance as Jonas Urbig was forced into a decent save from Fotis Ioannidis' header in the second minute, but it was largely one-way traffic from there. Jonathan Burkhardt thought he had put the visitors in front in the first half, but a review by the video assistant referee spotted a handball by Tom Bischof in the build-up. Lennart Karl and Derry Scherhant had chances, as did Konstantinos Mavropanos and Giorgos Masouras for the hosts, but neither side proved clinical in front of goal. "We built up quite a bit of pressure but didn't get that goal," Germany captain Florian Wirtz said after the game. "That's frustrating. "Overall, we can be satisfied with how we played. There were a lot of positives. We must not forget that we have only been together for a week. We really wanted the win, but not everything is bad now." The stalemate signals a frustrating end to the international break for Klopp, who begins his reign with one win from his first four games. Greece remain unbeaten and are second in Group A2, level on eight points with leaders the Netherlands, while Germany are three points behind in third.
