Canada came from behind to win 2-1 against France in the second Group A match of the Paris Olympics women’s soccer group at Stade Jofruagychard in Saint-Etienne, France on the 29th (Korea time).
Canada, which beat New Zealand 2-1 in the first game when the coach returned the baton on his own, beat France, the home team, in the second game under the acting coach system due to the suspension of his duties.
Despite its second consecutive win, Canada has not confirmed its advance to the quarterfinals tournament, leaving only a “possibility.”
This is because he was disciplined by FIFA to cut 6 points after being found to have “cheated” spying on the other team with drones.
Six points earned from two consecutive wins became useless, and Canada ranked third in Group A with zero points.
If Canada beats Colombia in the final group match, there is still a possibility that it will advance to the quarterfinals based on goal difference and multiple points.
Earlier on the 22nd, ahead of the first group match between Canada and New Zealand, Canada’s “drone spying” was discovered when local police, who were dispatched after receiving a report from the New Zealand national team, arrested a Canadian national team power analyst who was manipulating a drone.
The Canadian Football Association removed head coach Jasmine Mander and power analyst Joseph Lombardi from the team and suspended head coach Beverly Priestman’s duties.
The Canadian Football Association also admitted that the men’s soccer team led by coach Jesse Marsch also used drones at the 2024 Copa America (South American Football Championship).
FIFA cut six points in the group stage of the Canadian women’s national team participating in the Olympics and imposed a fine of 200,000 Swiss francs (about 310 million won) on the Canadian Football Association.
It was also decided to re-examine the Canadian women’s soccer’s gold medal process at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Canada was taken away by France in the 42nd minute of the first half after receiving the first goal.
France’s Mariante Cattoto folded once in the left penalty area to beat the defense and hit it low with her right foot to poke the corner of the near post.메이저놀이터
Canada balanced with Jesse Fleming’s equalizer in the 13th minute of the second half.
His teammate’s shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, rushing the second ball to finish lightly.
Just before the end of the game, Canada scored a dramatic come-from-behind goal.
Eleven minutes out of 13 minutes of extra time in the second half, Vanessa Jill shook the net with a left-footed shot in the left penalty area to decide the match.
Canada will play the final group match against Colombia at 4 a.m. on the 1st of next month.
