That's it for this match. Thanks for joining us for this coverage. The UEFA Nations League continues tomorrow and I'll see you then. Good-bye.
Israel manager Ran Ben Shimon made a double substitution around the hour mark in an effort to halt France's momentum, but finding a way back into the match proved challenging for the League A newcomers, who rarely threatened the French goal throughout the game. The match was effectively sealed shortly before regulation time when Theo Hernandez set up Matteo Guendouzi at the edge of the box, who finished with precision. To add to Israel's woes, they conceded a fourth goal in the dying moments as Bradley Barcola found the top corner, resulting in a third consecutive League A defeat and leaving Israel facing the grim prospect of an immediate drop back to the second tier.
After suffering defeats to Italy and Belgium in their opening Nations League matches, facing France was a daunting prospect for Israel. France quickly asserted their dominance by taking the lead within the first ten minutes, capitalizing on a mistake from goalkeeper Omri Glazer, who fumbled Eduardo Camavinga's shot into the net. However, against the odds in Hungary, Israel equalized with Oscar Gloukh's precise delivery headed home by Omri Gandelman, marking his first international goal. Yet, Israel's confidence proved short-lived as Christopher Nkunku swiftly restored France's lead just five minutes later, skillfully navigating through the defense and finishing past Glazer.
