Mali and Israel drew on Wednesday on the first day of the 2024 Paris Olympics. In an electric atmosphere.

The Israeli anthem, booed by part of the audience, clearly set the tone: this Olympic match between Mali and Israel could not ignore the international context.

Present in the stands at the Parc des Princes, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin did not hide his goal: ”

Show that there is obviously no security problem. » Bet won for this evening a priori. Despite the friction observed.

Very quickly in the first half, a message “Free Palestine” appeared in the stands, like Palestinian flags here and there. Demonstrations to which some Israeli spectators responded in an epidermal manner.

On the pitch, the two teams in question drew 1-1. Israel opened the scoring with an own goal from the unfortunate Hamidou Diallo (56e) when the Malians equalized thanks to Cheikna Doumbia.
