France is ready for the final of the Nations League play-off.
Left-back Theo Hernández became a great hero for "Les Bleus" when he sent in the 3-2 goal against Belgium from a distance in Thursday's semi-final meeting in Turin, Italy.
However, it did not start any further for the reigning world champions, who after this summer's failed European Championship finals this autumn lost points against both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Ukraine in the World Cup qualifiers.
Thanks to two quick goals, by Yannick Carrasco and Romelu Lukaku, at the end of the first half, Belgium connected a clear 2-0 grip before the last 45.
Then France rose.
Unexpected match winner
First, Karim Benzema placed 1-2 in goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois' left corner after a little more than an hour played.
A few minutes later, France was sentenced, after a VAR check, which Kylian Mbappé managed without any problems.
And when the clock ticked up in 90 minutes, shortly after Belgium first had a goal conceded for offside and Paul Pogba sent a French free kick into the crossbar, Milan player Hernández thumped in his first national team goal.
France thus plays the final against Spain on Sunday night.
Belgium, on the other hand, will play a match for the third prize against Italy earlier the same day.
