France opened Zinedine Zidane’s tenure as head coach with a 1-0 Nations League win in Turkey; Kylian Mbappe scored his record-extending 67th international goal but limped off five minutes later after suffering a knee injury while scoring.
Michael Olise supplied the pass for Mbappe’s shot into the bottom corner. Jules Kounde hit the post, and Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir was sent off late on for handling the ball outside the box.
Zidane replaced Didier Deschamps after the World Cup this summer. It was his first time managing a senior team outside Real Madrid, where he won three Champions League titles and two La Liga titles across two spells.
