The French Olympic football team defeated Guinea 1-0 on Saturday (27th) in a Group A match at the Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice. With this win, France maintained a 100% record in the competition and is well-positioned to advance, having accumulated 6 points.
The home team only needs a draw in the final round against New Zealand next Tuesday (30th) to secure first place in the group. The only scenario in which France could lose qualification is if New Zealand wins by a seven-goal margin, an unlikely outcome.
On the field, Guinea played better in the first half and even scored twice, with Keita and Touré. However, both goals were disallowed after VAR reviews indicated offside in both plays.
In the second half, the Bleus improved following the introduction of Kalimuendo, who hit the post in one of his first plays. The game’s only goal came at 29 minutes when Olise crossed for right-back Sildillia, who unexpectedly appeared in the box and headed home.
The African team tried to equalise and created good opportunities, but could not avoid the defeat. Despite the loss, Guinea is not yet eliminated from the competition. To qualify, the African team needs to beat the United States by three goals on Tuesday (30th) and hope for a French victory over New Zealand, who play on the same day.
