France vs Italy: Player Ratings | OneFootball

France and Italy shared the points in a Nations League draw at Saint-Denis in Paris, finishing 1-1 as Olise’s superb free-kick was cancelled out by Bastoni. The result came on matchday three, with standout goalkeeping at both ends.

Olise rattled the bar and later put France ahead from a set-piece routine. Kean missed a close-range chance and Maignan stayed alert, before Bastoni levelled by punishing Da Cunha’s costly giveaway. It was Bastoni’s second in succession after scoring against Türkiye.

After the interval, Donnarumma produced a string of saves, denying Doué, pulling off a miracle stop from Dembélé and thwarting Olise and Rabiot. In stoppage time he again stood tall to repel Camavinga.

Kean had a goal ruled out for offside, then his physical duel with Upamecano escalated. The France defender was booked and later dismissed for a naive pull-back, and Maignan preserved the draw with a late save from Kean.

Olise was France’s standout, while Dembélé struggled to impose himself and Cherki impressed as a mezzala. For Italy, Kayode was tireless and Frattesi carried a constant threat, with Mancini’s compact plan evident in and out of possession. Zidane’s first outing in France as head coach ended with some whistles at full-time.
