France 4-1 Belgium ratings: Leny Yoro impresses, Dembélé disappoints again

France came from behind to beat Belgium 4-1 on Monday, with substitutes Désiré Doué and Michael Olise providing the spark. L'Équipe notes that debutant Leny Yoro stood out, while Dembélé again fell short.

Before the turnaround, Les Bleus trailed despite Yoro’s assured first cap, their attack blunt against a compact Belgian block with Dembélé most culpable.

Lukébakio’s sublime finish in the 35th minute put Belgium ahead. Beyond that, there was little to handle apart from a few balls in behind after the interval, as Belgium created little.

After the break, Doué and Olise shifted the tempo and France seized control. Their impact underpinned the comeback.

Yoro’s first appearance was a clear positive on a dominant night, while Dembélé’s struggles continued against a set Belgian defence.
