LIVE – France-Japan: clumsy, the Bleuets surprised by the Japanese

22:11

Here we go again !

Start of this second period between France and Japan.

21:55

my time

It’s half-time at Mayol. The French Olympic team is trailing 1-0 by a very well-positioned and opportunistic Japanese team. The Bleuets will have to be much more incisive and less messy in the conclusion to get back into the game.

21:53

Truffert misses his pass (45′, 0-1)

On a quick French attack, the Rennais tries to play quickly on Olise but the pass is poorly assured.

21:51

Good intervention from Hirakawa (44′, 0-1)

Chotard tries to find Lukeba with an interesting backheel but the Japanese defender anticipates well and clears the danger. The Japanese defense is very solid.

21:49

Mateta blocked (42′, 0-1)

Corner taken by Olise on the right. Mateta is blocked with a header at the near post. It doesn’t want to go in for the Bleuets.

21:47

Millot on the post!! (40′, 0-1)

Following a corner from Chotard, Olise passed to Millot at the edge of the Japanese area before the Stuttgart player sent a curling right-footed shot onto the post.

21:44

Penalty finally cancelled! (37′, 0-1)

VAR saves the Bleuets! The Japanese fouls Badé before the French defender touches the ball with his hand in his area. No penalty for the Japanese. New alert for France.

21:41

Penalty for Japan!! (35′, 0-1)

Penalty for the Japanese following a handball by Badé!

21:40

Millot misses his control (29′, 0-1)

Sildillia infiltrates the axis and finds Millot on the right of the surface. The ball is lost on his control.

21:36

Olise misjudges (28′, 0-1)

Olise targets Truffert with a tight pass to the left. His pass is forced and goes into touch. The Bleuets are too messy in the final move.

21:35

In fond memory of Paraguay

The French Olympic team has already been behind by one goal during its preparation matches, it was against Paraguay. The Bleuets finally won 4-1.

21:31

Goal for Japan!! (25′, 0-1)

Fujita showers the Bleuets!! Following a defensive error near the French surface, the Japanese recover and send Joel Fujita to deceive Guillaume Restes with a cross shot. The Japanese open the score despite a complicated start to the match. The Bleuets will have to react and show themselves to be more precise in finishing.

21:30

Sildillia costaud (23′, 0-0)

Sildillia reassures by cutting off a Japanese pass, at the end of a high recovery by the visitors. France can move forward again.

21:27

The Bleuets are stalling (20′, 0-0)

The Japanese have been cornered in their own half for several minutes. The French team is playing its game and trying to find the flaw in the Japanese defense.

21:24

Great intervention from Lukeba (17′, 0-0)

Lukeba makes a spectacular sliding tackle in front of Hirawa at the touchline. The Japanese player waits before getting back up.

21:23

Lacazette still on top! (16′, 0-0)

Third chance for the Bleuets! In midfield, Olise makes a magnificent pass that pierces the Japanese defense. Lacazette recovers in the area but does not frame his shot. No danger for the Japanese goalkeeper.

21:20

What an opportunity for Lacazette! (14′, 0-0)

On a new French offensive initiated by Olise, Lacazette inherits a good cross in the Japanese area. The captain of the Bleuets instantly takes the ball but the attempt of the Lyonnais is blocked. The biggest chance since the start of the match.

21:18

Olise on the ground (10′, 0-0)

Michael Olise remains on the ground after being hit by a stamp. The new Bayern player eventually gets up.

21:17

Truffert makes the difference (9′, 0-0)

New acceleration from the Bleuets left-back. The Rennais sends a new dangerous cross into the middle of the Japanese surface but the ball is cleared by the Japanese defense.

21:15

Lacazette misses (7′, 0-0)

On a good French offensive move initiated by Truffert, the Rennais crosses for Olise who then passes to Lacazette. The captain of the Bleuets misses his last move in the Japanese area. Too bad. First good move by the Bleuets.

21:13

Intensity but a false rhythm (6′, 0-0)

The duels are fierce at the start of the match. Both teams are not holding back but seem to be in a false rhythm.

21:11

The Bleuets are rotating (4′, 0-0)

The French team has its foot on the ball and is looking to develop its game against a well-established Japanese block.

21:08

Millot too slow (1′, 0-0)

Taking advantage of a high recovery, Millot arms a shot in front of the surface but does not trigger his gesture. The ball is then lost.
