This Panama-France got off to a very bad start for the players of Hervé Renard, with a free kick scored early in the game.
This was not the expected scenario… For its third pool match of the 2023 World Cup, the France team conceded the opener against the modest Panama team.
The Central American players, who had not yet scored in this competition, scored an exceptional free kick by Marta Cox, after just over a minute of play. One of the best goals of this Cup world, sure.
THE 1ST GOAL IN THE HISTORY OF PANAMA IN THE WOMEN’S WORLD CUP 🚀🇵🇦

With this goal conceded, the France team virtually fell to third place in its group, and found itself threatened with elimination. We must react quickly for the players of Hervé Renard!
