Trailing 1-0 by Iceland in their 4th qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup at the break, France will try to react in the second half to obtain a positive result. At the microphone of TF1Didier Deschamps criticized the refereeing and deplored an uncalled foul on Victor Palsson's goal.

I'm not going to say wronged, but I think the players felt the injustice at the time. The foul is not obvious at the base on the free kick and there is a foul on Manu Koné. We can't go back. They have an opportunity and score this goal. We should have done more, we had good control with this dense block, we will need more percussion“, he said.
