Disappointing start, France draws with Jamaica

The French women's team begins their journey at the 2023 World Cup with a match against the Jamaica women's team.

After the opening whistle, the French women's team quickly took the initiative on the field. They had better football skills than their opponents. But surprisingly, the pressure from the European representative only lasted less than 20 minutes of the first half.

The Jamaican women's team, with their athleticism and free-flowing style of play, showed their superiority in one-on-one situations. The American team created many counter-attacks that made the French team's goal wobble. However, they lacked sharpness in their final passes.

The French team played disappointingly.

The first dangerous chance still belonged to the French women's team. Diani broke through strongly on the right wing. She got past the opposing defender but her shot was not difficult enough to beat goalkeeper Spencer.

The Jamaican women's team refused to give in to their opponents. In the 38th minute, captain Shaw unleashed a dangerous free kick that went just wide of the goal. After this moment, the French women's team decided to attack in the final minutes. There were two dangerous opportunities created, but Diani and Le Sommer both missed them. The first 45 minutes ended without any goals scored.

In the second half, the French women's team was determined to find a goal. Coach Herve Renard asked his players to spread their entire formation to the opponent's field. But this was a day when the American representative played very impressively. They focused on every defensive situation, the French women's team's strikers had a lot of difficulty approaching Spencer's goal.

In the final minutes, France used many high balls and started to make a difference. But then, the lack of luck of Diani and the players on the attack gradually made the opportunity slip away. In the 89th minute, Diani hit the crossbar and then the post. The match ended in a 0-0 draw.
