Beaten by Canada, Hervé Renard’s Bleues put the record straight by dominating New Zealand (2-1).
The French women’s team will indeed play in the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament. There was some doubt about this after the unexpected defeat against Canada (1-2) in the second match, but the Blues have finally recovered. This Wednesday, in Lyon, they dominated New Zealand.
Like the boys the day before, the Tricolores had no trouble imposing their control against the Oceanian selection. Admittedly, they conceded a goal on a tricky shot from outside the area in the 42nd minutee minute from Taylor, but it was the only false note of the evening.
Katoto sees double
Before this equalizer, the French had opened the score through Katoto. The latter had placed a header on a cross from Baltimore (22e). Continuing her momentum, the PSG player did it again after returning from the locker room. This time, she took on an excellent offering from Karchaoui with a shot with the flat of her foot.
At 2-1, the French women set about calmly managing their lead. There was no need to dig too deep into their reserves, with this qualification for the quarter-finals and first place in the group as a bonus. The first objective has been achieved. Now, they have to go and get a medal and that won’t be a walk in the park.
