For its entry into the 2024 Olympics, the French women's team, thanks to three goals in the first half including a double from Katoto, beat a valiant Colombia team, which failed in its comeback mission (3-2). France 3 : 2 Colombia Live If we only take the result, France has successfully entered the 2024 Olympics. But, it was stifling and we could have done without it, to tell the truth. At the sight of the first period, France expected a walk in the park. Seriously, Renard's gang had done the hardest part thanks in particular to Katoto (6th and 41st, 3-0). Between the two goals, Dali, with the help of the crossbar, had achieved the break (19th). The hardest part was done except that… On returning from the locker room, the Blues turned off the lights, just like Peyraud-Magnin! The goalkeeper conceded a penalty, converted by Usme (3-1, 53rd). Launched into the deep, Pavi won her duel with Lakrar before stealing the ball in front of Peyraud-Magnin (3-2, 65th). Suffering, unable to calm the Colombian fury, the Blues feared the worst in the face of the Ramirez threat. Fortunately, the South American striker finally cracked by wiping her studs on Bacha. A huge foul that earned her a red card (85th) and allowed Les Bleues to validate a first success.
