The French women’s football team was knocked out of the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament after its defeat against Brazil this Saturday (0-1).
23:25 – Match summary
The French women’s team stops in the quarter-finals of the JO 2024 after their cruel defeat against Brazil (0-1). The start of the match was disjointed. Both teams pushed forward without concessions. The French were the first to show themselves to be dangerous. Cascarino entered the area and caused a penalty. Karchaoui’s penalty was completely missed (16′) and the Brazilian goalkeeper had no problem pushing it away. After this missed penalty, the Blues did not really create any chances until Mbock’s bar, who was unlucky (40′). In the second half, Brazil lost its captain to injury. The French took advantage of this to create opportunities but they continued to cruelly lack precision in the final move. And by dint of missing, Hervé Renard’s players were punished by Gabi Portilho who took advantage of a large space left in the defense (82′). And despite the 16 minutes added to the regulation time of the second period, the French women will not find the equalizer and will remain crucified by the Selecao who will face Spain in the semi-finals of the competition this Tuesday at 9 p.m.
