Zinedine Zidane's first match in charge of the French national team ended on a sour note, even as France secured a 1‑0 victory in the UEFA Nations League in Turkey.

The match, played at a Turkish venue, saw France take the lead when Kylian Mbappé found the back of the net, giving the hosts a narrow advantage.

However, moments after scoring, Mbappé suffered an injury that forced him off the pitch, leaving the French side to finish the game with a single goal.

It was Zidane's debut as France manager, following a highly successful spell as coach of Real Madrid.

Details of the injury and its impact on France's squad remain to be confirmed by the coaching staff.
