Zapping Foot National Coupe de France: Calais, Quevilly, El-Biar, … the greatest exploits of the competition
A friendly match with the smell of shock. The French Women's Team traveled to Switzerland for Laurent Bonadeï's second on the bench. A meeting which saw the French selection lose by a score of two goals to one, a few days after its great victory against Jamaica. The Blues therefore emerge from a mixed rally under the orders of their new coach.
The Blues reacted very quickly
The French Women's Team will immediately try to put pressure on their evening opponent. Switzerland, however, will grant itself the first hot situations, with a French defense in panic from the fifth minute of play following a free kick. A free kick that should have been… a penalty. In the ninth minute of play, Kelly Gago will attempt the first French strike of the game. This is seriously lacking in power. The two teams fail to create real chances, while Switzerland will obtain a penalty in the 24th minute of play after a handball from Gago in his penalty area. Ramona Bachmann takes care of it and deceives Constance Picaud to open the scoring.
Immediately after the first goal of the game, France will begin to deploy its game. Less than ten minutes later, Laurent Bonadeï's girls will come back to score. For her first start, and after giving the Swiss a penalty, Kelly Gago will reset the counters. When a cross falls, the attacker resumes and sees her attempt blocked and ends in the back of the net. The Nati will continue to lower their heads and suffer the opposing offensives. Despite everything, the Blues were unable to reverse the score before returning to the locker room. Everything still remains to be done between the two border countries.
A jewel from Luyet to tip the scales
As soon as they return from the locker room, the two coaches will decide to make several changes. Enough to cause a few moments of hesitation within the two squads. Not enough to upset the young Swiss nugget. In the 55th minute of play, Naomi Luyet enters the center and sends a wonderful curling shot which hits the underside of the crossbar before entering the goal. What inspiration from the young Young Boys player from Bern. The French Women's Team will try to react but will not succeed in being dangerous.
In the 68th minute of play, Constance Picaud was again forced to deploy to push the ball back onto her post and thus prevent the break goal. The Blues will begin to lay siege to the last few meters of the opposing team and will narrowly miss getting back on track. In the 83rd minute of play, Jade Le Guilly was on the lookout for a corner but sent her shot onto the opposing post. Big opportunity for the French selection. The score will no longer move. France lost in Switzerland for its first friendly match against great adversity. Switzerland had not won a match since 2002 against Les Bleues.
To summarize

A meeting which saw the French selection lose by a score of two goals to one, a few days after its great victory against Jamaica.
