This Thursday, the Red Flames defended well against France. Combative, they lost only 2-1 against Blue favorites of the Women’s Euro. If this score is quite flattering, the Belgian players can also thank Wendie Renard. In the 89th minute, Corinne Deacon’s players obtained a penalty.
As an authoritarian captain, Wendie Renard rushes to take the penalty. For the second time after Iceland, Nicky Evrard manages to stop the attempt of the Lyonnaise. But not enough and the cook comes back to the feet of the defender who just has to push the ball deep. But between precipitation and opposing pressure, Wendie Renard placed her sending while the goal was empty. A monumental failure that went around the web. But that will remain without consequence because France is still qualified for the quarter-finals. For its part, Belgium will try to secure its ticket against the Italians who lost 5-1 against these same French women.
