After their (sad) draw against Jamaica (0-0) when they entered the competition, Les Bleues won this Saturday, in Brisbane, against Brazil at the end of a meeting as intense as undecided (2-1). Hervé Renard’s players managed an almost perfect start to the match. Diligent and determined, they quickly gained the upper hand. A domination that they managed to achieve shortly after the first quarter of an hour of play.

Just before the hour mark, Debinha inherited the ball in the penalty area following a strike from Ary Borges blocked by the French defense. The Brazilian striker did not shake and quietly adjusted Pauline Peyraud-Magnin to equalize (58th). The Blues were in bad shape. Fortunately, they were able to count on their captain. Uncertain before the meeting due to a calf injury contracted during the first match, Wendie Renard restored the advantage to the French women’s team, on a corner on the right side, with an angry crossed header, shortly before the end. regulation time (83rd). A decisive goal since Hervé Renard’s players finally won. Thanks to this success, they take the lead in group F and take a big step towards the final phase of the 2023 World Cup.
