DIRECT. France – Spain: the Blues are trailing at the break but maintain hope

The Blues seemed to be getting off to a bad start in this very poorly started match. They were caught cold from the start before conceding a second goal from the high pressure of the world champions. But the Tricolores were able to reduce the gap and maintain hope in this part in which they had to react in the last quarter of an hour after being largely dominated.

One minute of added time

Pina gets a corner by once again taking his chance from the right at the edge of the area. She is countered. The Blues ward off the danger with this corner shot at the near post.

Geyoro and Diani set fire

Diani had delayed on the left side of the area, she sent a cross towards Geyoro who could not straighten the ball on her volley. His shot goes wide.

Karchaoui not far from 2-2

Karchaoui arrives at full speed in the area, but his shot does not find the target. However, she had the equalizer at the tip of her foot. The Blues finished better at the end of the first period.

Becho adjusts a cross by overflowing on the right side. Mendez, again, this time, against the ball with the tip of her foot, but scores against her camp involuntarily. 1-2. The Blues are regaining hope after a very complicated start to the match.

Good coverage from Mendez

Karchaoui tried to overtake the Spanish right side, but Mendez did not let himself be overwhelmed.

The Tricolores suffer defensively. They are hampered by the Spanish pressing which prevents the first French restarts. And each Iberian attack puts the Blues in difficulty.

The Frenchwoman is penalized for a delayed foul on a defender. She is guilty of an involuntary sole on Codina away from the ball.

Good intervention from Renard

The tricolor captain covers well. She comes to tackle Cordoba who could have gone to goal in one on one with Picaud without this intervention from the captain of the Blue.

PINA DOUBLES THE BET FOR SPAIN!

Pina offset by Bonmati takes the time to apply himself to the edge of the surface. His right cross strike hits the mark. She doubles the stakes for the Spanish. 0-2!

The PSG player did well without warning, she had left a Nice sole on the Spanish player Pina.

The Blues try to play high

The Tricolores take risks to get back to the mark, but expose themselves to counterattacks behind their backs. After a little over a quarter of an hour of play, Bonmati scored the only shot of the match, on his goal.

Big opportunity for the Blues

Matéo is found deep by Diani, she hits the surface on her right side, but her outstretched cross finds no takers. It was a huge opportunity for the Tricolores to reduce the gap.

The Blues try to react

France insists on the left with Baltimore not finding space. She recovers a touch and allows her team to stay high.

BONMATI GOAL FOR SPAIN!

Bonmati, double Ballon d’Or, opened the scoring from 6m in a phase of play during which the Blues were naive. They will have to react. They are led 1-0 from the start by the world champions. Found on the left of the area, Caldentey crossed hard in front of the goal. Bonmati cut the trajectory of the ball with his right to deceive Picaud at close range.
