Defeated Germany (2-1), this Friday evening in the Nations League, the French women’s team qualified for the first final of an international tournament in its history.
The glass ceiling is finally broken! For the first time in its history, the French women’s team will play in the final of an international tournament. All after beating Germany for the first time in official competition (2-1), this Friday evening at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, in the semi-finals of the Nations League.
A feat that Hervé Renard’s daughters sought out. Entering strong, the Blues were rewarded for their offensive efforts at the end of the first period with two goals from Diani (1-0, 41st) and Karchaoui from the penalty spot (2-0, 45th+3).
The French held on in second
The French were then pushed to their limits in the second half. They were notably saved by the crossbar on a powerful shot from Popp (72nd). The Germans finally restarted the match with a penalty converted by Gwinn (2-1, 82nd), following a handball by Amandine Henry.
Taken by storm, the Tricolores held on in the final moments and therefore qualified for the final of the Nations League, which will be played on Wednesday evening. They will face the reigning world champions, Spain, who defeated the Netherlands (3-0).
