France downs Israel 4-1 in Nations League soccer

Israel’s national soccer team has fallen to France 4-1 in Nations League play at a “home” game played in Budapest due to security concerns.

The Israeli squad appeared to hold their own against Les Blues for much of the match, keeping France within one goal until the 87th minute before a late burst put the match out of reach.

The loss leaves winless Israel in the cellar of Group A2, while France moved closer to A2 Group leader Italy was held to a 2-2 draw with Belgium.
