France comeback against Belgium sets up final vs. Spain

Luis Enrique’s side will face Les Bleus in Sunday’s Nations League final

France came from two goals down to beat Belgium 3-2 on Thursday to set up a Nations League final against Spain on Sunday.

Goals from Yannick Carrasco and Romelu Lukaku helped Roberto Martinez’s side into a two-goal lead by the break.

But Belgium sat back in the second half and the French punished them.

Karim Benzema and a Kylian Mbappe penalty drew France level to set up a tense finale.

Lukaku appeared to have won it for Belgium but VAR ruled his goal out for offside and France went up the other end to win it.

Theo Hernandez struck the winner to set up a showdown on Sunday against Spain, who beat Italy 2-1 in the other semifinal on Wednesday.
