Les Bleues lose their lead in the Netherlands

Les Bleues are no longer leaders of their World Cup 207 qualifier group after their defeat in the Netherlands (2-1) this Tuesday evening.

End of series for Laurent Bonadei’s players. After starting their qualifying campaign for the 2027 World Cup with two successes, against Ireland (1-2) then Poland (4-1), the Blue fell this Tuesday evening in the Netherlands (2-1).

Conducted from 11e minute, the French equalized through Baltimore at the start of the second act (54e). They then dominated, but finally gave in (68e) and did not manage to stick again.

The Oranje thus take the lead in group 3 of the qualifiers, with a small lead over the Bleues. The two teams will meet again on Saturday in Auxerre for the revenge.
