Rain of goals in Sidney. The French women’s football team secured its qualification for the round of 16 of the 2023 World Cup and first place in group F thanks to its big victory against Panama (6-3).
Les Bleues did not tremble long after the Panamanian opener (2nd) and soared thanks in particular to a hat-trick from striker Kadidiatou Diani (28th, 37th, 52nd) to slip towards the eighth.
21st: Mateo avoids the exit of the ball on the right side after a corner. She raises her head and centers perfectly between the penalty spot and the six yards. Nice header from Lakrar, only slowed down by defender Salazar. The nets tremble.
28th: Périsset launches Becho into the box on the right. The French center at ground level. Diani tries to take over at the near post. She is countered at close range and, after a scramble, unleashes a heavy shot from the right under the bar.
37th: On penalty, Kadidiatou Diani does not tremble. She crosses a flat shot with the right foot. Yenith Bailey is taken on the wrong foot. Doubled for the striker of the Blue.
45th 5: Ball for Léa Le Garrec on the left side. Oriented on her right foot, the Frenchwoman brushes a good center at the far post. No one deflects it and the rebound traps Bailey. The ball ends up in the back of the net.
52nd: From the penalty spot, Kadidiatou Diani again crosses the right at ground level. Yenith Bailey dives to the right side but is too short. Tripled for the striker of the Blue.
90th 10: Good control from Périsset on a transverse right side. The French continues from a center at mid-height. Becho cuts at the near post with a nice cross volley to beat Bailey. His first goal for the France team.
