Wendie Renard and her French teammates disposed of Morocco on Tuesday in the round of 16 of the World Cup. The matter was settled in the first period. Place now in Australia for a place in the last four.
Moroccans are not going to like Tori Penso. The American referee had held the whistle during the first match of the Atlas Lionesses in this 2023 World Cup, concluded with a heavy defeat against Germany (6-0).
On Tuesday, the same referee was in charge of directing the France-Morocco round of 16. With the same result for the selection driven by the Frenchman Reynald Pedros.
The hardest part begins
Les Bleues did not make a gift by winning 4-0 on the lawn of Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide (Australia). The qualification was clearly drawn during the first period and in less than 10 minutes.
Goals scored by Diani (15th), Dali (20th) and Le Sommer (23rd) stunned the Lionesses, before the double for Le Sommer (4-0, 70th).
Hervé Renard and his players have an appointment Saturday with Australia, host country, in the quarter-finals. A much more consistent opposition than that proposed by the Moroccans.
