Eliminated on penalties by Australia in the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup, Hervé Renard’s France team may regret a goal canceled by the referee in full overtime.
In great pain at the start of the second half against Australians who came back wild from the locker room, the French women’s team then had a few opportunities to win their round of 16 World Cup on Saturday in Brisbane. In the end, Les Bleues did not score for more than 120 minutes (21 shots, only 5 on target), before sinking during an endless penalty shootout (7-6).
Wendie Renard will however have caused the goal against his camp of Alanna Kennedy during the first period of the extension (100th), but the referee of the meeting, Ms. Carvajal, directly whistled a free kick in favor of the Matildas. The tricolor captain indeed held another opponent, Caitlin Foord, in front of goal. And while it didn’t bother Kennedy, Renard’s fault was largely punishable.
” There is nothing “, Then cursed the 33-year-old Martiniquaise, but the referee had therefore made his decision and his video assistant did not tell him of any manifest error. The game resumed…
