Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé scored the decisive goal before exiting with a knee injury during France’s 1–0 victory over Türkiye in Friday’s UEFA Nations League match.
The fixture marked Zinedine Zidane’s debut as head coach following his appointment in late July.
Deployed on the left wing, France’s all-time top scorer controlled a pass from Michael Olise and struck low past Ugurcan Cakir to secure his 67th international goal at the Kocaeli Stadium in Izmit.

Mbappé winced during goal celebrations, briefly attempted to play through the discomfort, and ultimately required substitution by Désiré Doué after slumping to the ground while clutching his left knee.
Both France and Real Madrid now await medical evaluations regarding the severity of the injury ahead of upcoming international fixtures, including France’s match against Belgium in Brussels on Monday.
France maintained control throughout the match, with Cakir tipping an Olise strike over the bar before halftime and Mike Maignan denying an Abdulkerim Bardakci header for Türkiye early in the second half.
Following Mbappé’s goal, Jules Koundé struck the post for Les Bleus, while referee Felix Zwayer issued a late red card to Cakir after a VAR review confirmed the goalkeeper handled the ball outside his penalty area to deny Bradley Barcola a clear scoring chance.
