Scorer on Saturday against Brazil (2-1), Eugénie Le Sommer was decisive for Les Bleues, she who was no longer called up by the previous coach Corinne Deacon.
She was going to score, of course. Mute in the first match against Jamaica (0-0), Eugénie Le Sommer opened her counter during the 2023 World Cup by opening the scoring against Brazil (2-1), to relieve Les Bleues who were waiting for this goal with impatience.

Top scorer in the history of the France team, Le Sommer scored her 90th goal in 180 selections, an average of one goal every two matches. And to think that she could not have played this World Cup, since she no longer fit into the plans of former coach Corinne Deacon, who had not retained her for Euro 2022 last year.
As soon as he took charge of Les Bleues, Hervé Renard hastened to recall Le Sommer. The Lyonnaise justified her confidence with this goal from the center forward (17th), she who is supposed to bring her presence in the penalty area and her sense of goal, precisely. A few minutes earlier, the French n°9 had already placed a dangerous first header.

Les Bleues’ second goal was scored by captain Wendie Renard who also could not have been there. At the start of the year, the Lyon defender announced her international retirement to demand a change in the France team. Thus had started the “putsch” of the Blue, which had led to the replacement of Corinne Deacon by Wendie Renard. The players are now expected at the turn, but the executives responded on Saturday in Brisbane.
