Beaten by Serbia, the Blues risk finding the United States in the quarter

In case of victory, the French team had the possibility of avoiding the United States in the quarter-finals but the French lost to Serbia on Tuesday (68-62).

This defeat against Serbia (68-62) places the French team in fourth place and increases the chances of facing the United States in the quarter-finals of the competition.

Already qualified, the two teams were fighting to obtain the best possible place in the final classification of this group B and thus have a better draw. Unfortunately for Les Bleues, the match turned to Serbia’s advantage. The French will face either China or the United States in the quarter-finals.

The Serbian domination was directly felt despite the 7-0 inflicted by the Blues at the end of the first quarter (24-17). Inspired by their strong and aggressive defence, Serbia took a big lead with their attack. France will wake up and will equalize with a 14-0 at the start of the second quarter but the rest of the latter will be more delicate for the Blue (37-32). Struggling in attack and largely dominated on the rebound (33 to 16), France failed to come back to score in the third quarter (53-46). The Blue cling in the last but will not be able to pick up the score. They lost 68-62 against Serbia.
