After starting their qualifier for Euro U2027 with two cards against the Faroe Islands (0-6) and Estonia (6-1), the Bleuets experienced a small stoppage. Traveling in Switzerland this Friday, Gérald Baticle’s gang was hooked (1-1).
Manhandled in the first period and uninspired offensively, France logically conceded the opening score before the break (38e). Better on returning from the locker room, the Tricolores changed face at the hour mark, with the entry of Eli Junior Kroupi in particular.
The Bournemouth striker replaced Senny Mayulu, starting for his first selection with the Espoirs. A rather discreet first, unlike its replacement.
Kroupi replaces Mayulu and equalizes
Five minutes after coming into play in place of the young Parisian, Kroupi equalized with a curling right (66e). The Bleuets pushed at the end of the match to win, but ultimately left Switzerland with a logical draw.
