Two of the continent's heavyweights cancelled each other out on the night, sharing the points in a fixture that always carries a bit more needle than a standard group game. Michael Olise put France ahead before Alessandro Bastoni levelled for Italy, and the scoreline settled at 1-1. The result keeps both sides ticking over in their Nations League group without either grabbing the headline result they'd have wanted. Expect reaction to filter through from both camps in the days after, with the group picture now needing another look.
Will this draw help or hurt France and Italy's Nations League chances?
