JO 2024. France – Colombia: in pain, the Blues ensure the essential… the summary

22:58 – Les Bleues win in a two-faced match (3-2)

If we only take the result, France has succeeded in its entry into the competition in these 2024 Olympics. But, it was stifling and we could have done without it to tell the truth. In view of the first period, France expected a walk in the park. Seriously, Renard’s gang had done the hardest part thanks in particular to Katoto (6th and 41st, 3-0). Between the two goals, Dali, with the help of the crossbar, had made the break (19th). The hardest part was done except that… After the locker room, the Bleues turned out the lights like Peyraud-Magnin! The goalkeeper conceded a penalty, converted by Usme (3-1, 53rd). Launched into the deep, Pavi won her duel with Lakrar before stealing the ball in front of Peyraud-Magnin (3-2, 65th). Suffering, unable to calm the Colombian fury, the Bleues feared the worst in the face of the Ramirez threat. Fortunately, the South American striker finally cracked by wiping her studs on Bacha. A huge foul which earned her a red card (85th) and allowed the Blues to validate a first success.
