The French Olympic team returns to an Olympic final for the first time since 1984 after its victory in overtime against France. Egypt (3-1). The Blues will face Spain on Friday 9 août à 6 p.m. France < strong>3: 1 Égypte Live~6 0~p>France beat Egypt in extra time and reached the Olympic final (3-1). It was the Blues who had the first chance of the evening. Adrien Truffert was well served in depth, controlled and followed up with a nice shot that was well pushed away by the Egyptian goalkeeper (4th). This chance was not going to get the match off the ground. The first half was choppy and imprecision largely took over the show. Despite everything, at the end of the first act, Loïc Badé is left alone on a corner but his header ends up on the Egyptian post (40th). After the break, Olise gets into action but finds Hamza on a tricky shot with a rebound (51st). The French settle into the half and get a huge opportunity. Lacazette inherits the ball but misses the target (60th). And against all expectations, on the following action, Egypt punishes the Bleuets on a powerful strike from Saber (61st). Following this goal, Thierry Henry's men will have several chances one after the other without deceiving the vigilance of the excellent Egyptian goalkeeper. And when the goalkeeper is beaten, the post and then the bar get in the way of Lacazette and Badé (75th). The Blues will not let up and will end up being rewarded. Olise delivers an excellent ball to Mateta who deceives the Egyptian goalkeeper (84th). À In the sixth minute of added time, the Blues thought they would get a penalty but the referee did not designate the penalty spot after viewing the images. Then extra time began: it started strongly with the exclusion of Fayed (92nd minute). And at 10 against 11, the Pharaohs ended up cracking on a header from Mateta (100th minute). And facing Pharaohs at the end of their strength, Olise would score a goal that would put sheltered his own for good (109). France will play the Olympic final against Spain this Friday at 6 p.m. After this France – Egypt, the Blues are assured of a medal in these 2024 Olympics. But the ambition of Thierry Henry's men certainly does not stop there. They will aim for gold this Friday with the final at the Parc des Princes against Spain (6 p.m.).
