It hit and didn’t puncture!

France had more than 20 shots on goal on Thursday but were unable to break the 0-0 draw with Israel at the Stade de France in Paris in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2024/25 Nations League group stage . The highlight was the performance of goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, who made two impressive saves in the second half, from shots by Zaïre-Emery and Nkunku. With this result, the French team remains in second place in the group, but will have a lot of difficulty overtaking Italy. The two teams face each other this Sunday. Israel remains with no points.

Protests, fights and tension

The match between France and Israel was met with protests in Paris before kick-off . Authorities set up a tight security presence around the Stade de France, with thousands of officers on duty. Inside the stadium, there was confusion and clashes between Israeli fans and police.
