TURIN, Italy: World champions France recovered from two goals down to beat Belgium 3-2 in a thrilling Nations League semi-final on Thursday (Oct 7) with a last-minute strike from Theo Hernandez securing a place in Sunday's showpiece match against Spain. In a crazy end to the game, Belgium thought they had won the pulsating contest minutes earlier but Romelu Lukaku's late effort was ruled out for offside by VAR. We sat back a little too much," said France coach Didier Deschamps. "They had a good period for 20 minutes but after that we were not in danger and had a lot of chances. "In the second half, we were a little too emotional - maybe we were thinking a little too much about the final, about qualifying.
