Zidane's France held by 10-man Italy in Nations League draw

Original: france vs italy

France drew with Italy in a UEFA Nations League match that marked Zinedine Zidane's first home game as France coach. Alessandro Bastoni scored to rescue a draw for Italy, who played with ten men, while goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Zidane a winning start. The match carried added intrigue, coming nearly twenty years after Zidane's headbutt on Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final between the two sides.

Why now: Zidane facing Italy as France coach, nearly twenty years after the 2006 World Cup final headbutt, made the Nations League fixture a major talking point worldwide.
