France lead Group F
Before the match between Jamaica and Panama, this afternoon, France occupies only the head of the group F, with 4 points, in front of Brazil (3 points).
Renard: “We had the courage to react”
Hervé Renard: “We suffered ten minutes when we conceded the goal. But we had the courage to react, we showed a lot of self-sacrifice. In a competition, there are sometimes reference matches, this one must be. Wendie’s (Renard) experience paid off. Without her, it’s hard, so thanks to her for gritting her teeth. It’s only a group game, so congratulations on today, but nothing is done. It’s always better to finish first in the group. Against Jamaica, we lacked efficiency, today we were quite efficient. »

Le Sommer: “We had our backs against the wall”
Eugénie Le Sommer: “What matters today is victory, that’s what we came for. We had our backs against the wall. We had missed our start against Jamaica, so we had to start strong. We had a game plan and it worked well. It’s a shame to concede this goal, but we remained calm and that’s the most important thing. »
VICTORY OF THE BLUES!
The French won against Brazil (2-1)! A goal from Wendie Renard (83rd) late in the game gave victory to Les Bleues, who overall dominated the game.

79′ Moment of hesitation among the French
The blue defense does not speak to each other and Peyraud-Magnin does not dare to go out… The hesitation benefits Luana, who tries the entry shot from the area, but is countered.
77′ What a bad choice from Karchaoui
The side does not see Diani’s superb call on the left side and prefers to play in the center. The Brazilian defense takes advantage of this. The Blues are wasting ammunition!

Super comeback from Becho who, on his first ball, manages to hand over to Beyoro, completely unmarked in the area. The strike of the French, not placed enough, forces the Brazilian goalkeeper to work!
65′ First blue change
Scorer for France, Le Sommer gives way to Becho.
62′ Brazilian highlight
The goal galvanized the Auriverdes, who give a lot to the pressing… And the French multiply the loss of balls. We’re going to have to get our heads back.
58′ Debinha equalizes!
Brazil equalizer! The Selecao take advantage of a deflected strike from Kerolin, which lands in the feet of Debinha. After a classy control, the attacker has plenty of time to adjust her shot and allows Brazil to come back to score. 1-1.
55′ Brazilians helpless
The dynamic has not changed in this second half: the Brazilians have all the trouble in the world to pass the French environment and cannot get any clear chances.
51′ Peyraud-Magnin comes out with authority
Even on trap crosses, the goalkeeper showed reassuring authority, not hesitating to go out to catch the ball in the air, on the head of the Brazilian striker Geyse.

43′ Peyraud-Magnin solid
Antonia attempts a shot from 25m to surprise the French goalkeeper. But the latter quietly captures the ball.

37′ It leans to the right
The French offensives pass a lot for the right side, where Dani makes a lot of difference, even if his crosses do not always find takers.

The Blues have never lost to Brazil in eleven matches. So far, the series is on track to expand to 12 games.
31′ Diani misses his duel
High recovery from Kharchaoui, who serves Diani in depth. In one against one, the French striker is beaten by Izidoro. She was offside anyway.
30′ France holds firm
The Brazilians are more offensive, obtaining in particular a dangerous free kick completely missed by Debinha. But France is currently solid in defense.
