Full of confidence for the Blues. The French women’s team won 3-0 this Thursday evening at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, against Ireland, after a serious performance. A good omen before the World Cup… However, it was the Girls in green who entered the match best. On a long aerial ball, and after a nice deflection from the head of one of her partners, Kyra Carusa, launched deep, opened the scoring. His goal was immediately refused by the refereeing body for an offside position… non-existent after viewing the images.
Hervé Renard’s players quickly recovered. And without getting many chances, they managed to make the difference twice just before the break. It was first of all, Maëlle Lakrar who found the net, finding herself at the end of a movement that she herself had initiated, thus scoring her first goal with the tricolor selection (45 1). Then, in the process, Eugénie Le Sommer, well served by Kenza Dali, managed to break with a magnificent strike with the right foot from the entrance to the penalty area (45 3). It is therefore with an advantage of two goals that the Blue returned to the locker room (0-2 MT).
In the second act, the French team showed more solidity on the defensive level and more control on the offensive level, trying, as much as possible, to keep the ball and to build from the back, in search of offsets, especially on the wings. And on a corner on the right side, Maëlle Lakrar, arrival launched, scored her second goal of the evening (and the second of her career with the Blue) with a powerful header, slightly deflected by the Irish defense (61st). With this great success, the Tricolores are preparing the best for the 2023 World Cup, organized in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20. They will now fly to Oceania, where they will face, before the start of the competition, the Australian selection, on July 14.
