Nations League F: without convincing, the Blues defeat Portugal

The essential is there. While in control during this match, the France team won against Portugal. In Valenciennes, the Blues won 2-0 for their first Nations League match.

For their return to competition, the Blues did not miss out. It was their first match since the disappointment and elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup against Australia. Hervé Fox had concocted a 4-3-3 formation, with Picaud starting in goal in place of Peyraud-Magnin. Quickly, the Blues tried through Jean-François (8') then Périsset (17'), who found the bar. It was finally Geyoro who opened the scoring in the 27th minute, with a sumptuous delivery from the outside of Eugénie Le Sommer's foot. Toletti inflicted a final thrill on the Portuguese defense before both teams returned to the locker room. A mastered first act with a successful collective performance.

The second half probably satisfied Hervé Renard less, even if he was able to count on the great returns in blue from Henry and Mbock. Less good in the build-up and more hampered on the restart, the Blues still almost doubled their lead with Le Sommer (69'). Morais, the Portuguese goalkeeper, saved hers again in the 72nd minute. With the Bleues unable to take cover, Capeta came close to equalizing by taking advantage of a disagreement between Henry and Renard, but his 35-meter lob went just wide. Finally, Bacha ended the suspense in the 89th minute with a superb strike from almost 25 meters. Thanks to this 2-0 victory, the France team takes the lead in its Nations League group. She will face Austria on September 26
