FRANCE – BELGIUM FOOT. France wins against Belgium this Thursday, July 14 and joins the quarter-finals of Euro 2022. Corinne Deacon’s players are guaranteed to finish first in group D.
23:15 – The summary of the match
France will be in the quarter-finals of Euro 2022. The players of Corinne Deacon beat the Belgians but without the fireworks one would expect. And yet the start of the match was more than promising. Kadidiatou Diani opened the scoring in the 6th minute thanks to a nice header at the far post on a cross from Karchaoui. The French striker could even have done it again a few minutes later but Evrard and the post closed the door with a double. The French celebrations quickly gave way to doubt. Especially when one of the team’s best players is injured. Indeed, Marie-Antoinette Katoto was forced to give up her place in the 17th minute and was replaced by Sarr. After this fact of play, the Blues lost their offensive breath and were surprised by the Belgians. Janice Cayman equalized after the only real collective movement of the Red Flames in the first period (36th). But the doubt will have been short-lived because five minutes later Griedge Mbock allows his own to go back in front (41st) thanks to another unstoppable header for Evrard. In the second period, the debates were a little more balanced because the Bleues continued to evolve on a false rhythm and will never have really worried Nicky Evrard except at the end of the meeting. Grace Geyoro obtains a penalty and the exclusion of Amber Tysiak after a handball in the box but Wendie Fox will stumble on the Red Flames goalkeeper before missing the inevitable when resuming his shot on goal repelled. Fortunately for the French captain, this miss will have no consequences because the score will remain the same. Les Bleues therefore join England and Germany in the quarter-finals of this Euro and will be able to approach the last meeting of the group against Iceland on Monday with more serenity.
