The home fans got an exciting game at Stade de France but not the result they expected, mainly because of Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s performance. Michael Olise put France ahead in the 55th minute with a curling shot which went in off the crossbar, following a short free kick taken by Rayan Cherki.
But poor defending midway through the second half allowed Italy defender Alessandro Bastoni to run through and clip a low shot inside the right post. Moise Kean missed a close-range chance early on for Italy, shooting straight at goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

Donnarumma made a double save from Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué early in the second half, then produced a brilliant low save to deny Adrien Rabiot moments after Italy’s equaliser.
France defender Dayot Upamecano was sent off late in the game for picking up a second yellow card, but the hosts kept pushing for a winner, and Donnarumma had to claw away Eduardo Camavinga’s shot in stoppage time to preserve a point. Les Bleus stay top of Group A1, a point clear of Belgium who eased to a 3-0 home win over bottom side Turkey in Liège.
Kevin De Bruyne, in his 127th match for the Red Devils, scored the opening goal with a cool finish from the edge of the box, after a nice one-two with Dodi Lukebakio. Turkey posed the greater attacking danger after the Napoli midfielder’s opener but could not find a leveller and were punished just before the hour mark.
