On Thursday, Theo Hernandez scored a last-gasp goal to send France to a Nations League final against Spain after Les Bleus came back from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 over Belgium. Full-back for AC Milan After France had battled back from a 2-0 deficit at halftime at the Allianz Stadium in Turin thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe, Hernandez scored his first France goal in the 90th minute of his second international game. After an entertaining match in which Belgium felt they had won in the final minutes when Romelu Lukaku scored from Yannick Carrasco’s cross, Didier Deschamps’ team will meet La Roja in Sunday’s final at the San Siro in Milan.
Lukaku’s first-time finish was ruled off for offside while the Red Devils players were still celebrating.
With the game on the verge of going to extra time, Hernandez grabbed the ball on the left flank before slamming home the game-winner.
He and his brother Lucas Hernandez had begun the match, making them the first brothers to play for France since Herve and Patrick Revelli did so in a friendly against Romania in 1974.
“Winning that match from where we were proves the strength of character of this team,” Deschamps told TF1 after the match.
“Nobody thought it possible at half-time, and I understand that looking at the score, but they were here to not leave anything on the pitch and to play in the final.”
For the majority of the first half, the game was pretty level, though Hugo Lloris had to be at his best to save Kevin De Bruyne’s close-range strike in the fourth minute.
Benjamin Pavard should have done better three minutes later when he met Mbappe’s left-wing cross with a shot that he blasted straight at Thibaut Courtois.
Midway through the first half, Mbappe, who became the youngest player to reach 50 caps for France, also blasted too near to Courtois.
Carrasco went inside Pavard and then drilled a low drive between Lloris and his near post to give Belgium the lead eight minutes before halftime.
Lukaku, who had flopped in the same stadium last week while wearing a Chelsea shirt, extended Belgium’s lead three minutes later with his sixth goal in six appearances for his country.
The 28-year-old turned Lucas Hernandez when receiving De Bruyne’s cross down the right wing before sprinting into the box and blasting home a high shot that beat Lloris at his near post for the second time.
With a difficult task ahead of them to reach the final, France came out fire after the restart, and Mbappe was instrumental in bringing them level.
In the 58th minute, he burned Carrasco before throwing in a low cross that Antoine Griezmann couldn’t turn in.
Four minutes later, he deceived Youri Tielemans and passed to Benzema, who scored despite being surrounded by Belgium defenders.
After Tielemans’ reckless foul on Griezmann was spotted during a VAR check, he smashed home the spot-kick, setting up an exciting conclusion.
After that, both De Bruyne and Paul Pogba had shots stopped before a frenzied finish that saw Lukaku score what he thought was the game-winner and Pogba smash a free-kick against the crossbar.
Hernandez then seized a victory that exemplified all of the attributes that had made the French world winners in the first place.
