Hervé Renard can be relieved, his team managed to dominate Brazil in the clash of group F of this 2023 World Cup. After their delicate start against Jamaica (0-0), France was able to raise their level of play and respond present against a beautiful auriverde adversity. Eugénie Le Sommer and Wendie Renard scored the two tricolor goals in this meeting. We will now have to negotiate the last pool match against Panama to qualify for the round of 16, with why not a first place and a favorable draw.

With high pressing and a well-oiled collective, the Blues posed problems to Brazil from the start, which did not manage to come out cleanly. France will quickly manage to open the scoring after a long cross from Karchaoui from the right. On the trajectory, Diani deviates for Le Sommer who deceives Leticia with a header (1-0, 17th). Les Bleues gain confidence and offer themselves other situations, notably through Kenza Dali. But the volley from the midfielder of Aston Villa is not sharp enough (43rd).

But as against Jamaica, Hervé Renard’s players will show two faces. On returning from the locker room, Brazil rebels and clearly worries the French rearguard. The Auriverde selection shows much more intensity and on a good collective sequence in the last thirty opposing meters, Debinha is at the conclusion (1-1, 58th), taking advantage of a suffering Blue defense. Pauline Peyraud-Magnin thus conceded her first goal in this tournament.

In a tense and disputed end to the match, the solution will come from set pieces for the French team. With her left foot, Selma Bacha sends a cross to the far post for Wendie Renard who leaves no chance of heading her opponents (2-1, 83rd). The captain of the Bleues was however uncertain for this meeting and gritted her teeth in order to hold her place. Note the superb assist from her OL teammate who is playing her first in the world at 22.

Concentrated and applied on the nine minutes of added time, with a boiling Hervé Renard in his technical area, France held on and won a life-saving success which should allow him to launch his World Cup. Even the entry into play of the legend Marta will not make the difference for the Seleção. We will have to negotiate the last bend against Panama next Wednesday to qualify for the round of 16, but the state of mind and the content are more than reassuring.

Hervé Renard can be relieved, his team managed to dominate Brazil in the clash of group F of this 2023 World Cup. After their delicate start against Jamaica (0-0), France was able to raise their level of play and respond present against a beautiful auriverde adversity.

Relief for Les Bleues who win against Brazil, and take the lead of the group.

The Brazilian football legend appeared on the lawn but struggled to distinguish himself.

Nearly 49,378 spectators are present according to FIFA. A great success for women’s football.

Stirring for an hour before being more discreet, Kenza Dali is replaced by Léa Le Garrec.

On a corner taken by Bacha on the right side, Wendie Renard is found at the far post. The captain of the Imperial Blue in the air puts a decisive header and allows her team to go back in front.

The players gave a lot in this meeting and it shows in the last few minutes with many risky raises and technical faults.

The French defense suffers in this second act. On a free kick from the left side, Kerolin beats everyone but his attempt is too clumsy to score a second goal for the Brazilians.

The left side of PSG in turn receives a yellow card for an illicit shirt pulling.

After the small blow of the equalizer, the Bleues try to start again: the Parisian wraps her shot but Leticia deflects for a corner.

The first scorer of the Bleues Eugénie Le Sommer gives way to Vici

The Auriverde selection managed to equalize Debinha who took advantage of the mistakes of the French defense to deceive the vigilance of Peyraud-Magnin. 1-1 now for both teams.

At 34, the Breton gives everything on the field and does not hesitate to press, even on harmless balls.

The 22-year-old player voted best young player in the 2021-2022 Champions League is considered one of the biggest hopes in French football. If he usually plays as a full-back at OL, Hervé Renard did not hesitate to align him higher up the field in order to take advantage of his technical qualities.
