No miracle for the futsal Blues. Raphaël Reynaud’s players, authors of a good performance for their first World Cup participation, lost 7-1 against Ukraine on Sunday in Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
France, tenth in the world rankings, finished at the foot of the podium, outclassed by Ukraine, although behind it in Fifa (12e). For their first participation, the French exceeded expectations by only being stopped in the semi-final on Thursday by Argentina (3-2), one of the best nations in this sport, reigning world vice-champion and champion of the world 2016.
After conceding a first goal by Ihor Cherniaskyi (11e), the Blues tried to come back in the second half by being more creative.

The match got carried away
The match then got carried away, the Ukrainians making the break through Mykhailo Zvarych (22e2-0) after a perfect cross from his teammate Rotyslav Semenchenko. In the process, Ayoub Saadaoui (23e2-1) responded to revive the Blues, but nothing worked.
More experienced, Ukraine quickly increased the score thanks to a double from Yevheni Zhuk (27e28e) then the French brought out their goalkeeper to bring in an outfield player and try to get back on track. But the avalanche did not stop, and the Ukrainians even accelerated their march towards the bronze medal with a hat-trick from Danyil Abakshyn (30e30e33e).
