Zinedine Zidane can be proud. His youngest son, Elyaz, allowed the French team under 20 to win their first match against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday (2-1), as part of the Maurice Revello tournament dedicated to selections under 21.
While the blueberries were led 1-0 at the break, they managed to reverse the trend in the second half. Steve Ngoura equalized in the 64th minute before Elyaz Zidane, placed at the first post, registered a goal from the head four minutes later after a corner drawn by Noah Edjouma. A goal that strangely recalls that scored by her father, Zinedine Zidane, in the World Cup final 27 years ago, on July 12, 1998 against Brazil.
The French U20 team finally won the meeting 2-1. This victory allows blueberries to occupy first place in group A, composed by Panama, Mali and finally Saudi Arabia. The next Tricolore match will take place on Friday at 5.30 p.m. against the Malians.
Elyaz Zidane soon launched in La Liga?
Currently, Elyaz Zidane is evolving within the Bétis Seville reserve team. After being trained in Real Madrid, the young 19 -year -old was committed until 2026 in favor of the Andalusian club last December.
The objective of the last son of “Zizou”: to succeed in gradually imposing himself in the professional group and convincing Manuel Pelligrini, the Betis coach, to give him playing time in Liga.
