Group Stage Conclusion: France, Semifinal-Bound and Undefeated, Clinches Victory in Iceland
Celebrating Six Straight Wins! France Dominates Women's UEFA Nations League
France's dominance in the Women's UEFA Nations League continues! This dynamite team clinched their sixth consecutive win, securing an impressive 2-0 victory against Iceland in a chilly Reykjavik on June 3. Despite battling against fierce winds, the French squad demonstrated their prowess, taking control of the game an hour in. Although Iceland created several chances to score (21', 37', and 45'+1), they couldn't crack the tough nut that is Pauline Peyrau-Magnin.
As the first half drew to a close, the French team finally broke the deadlock, demonstrating their exceptional teamwork. The goal was a testament to their skill, with Sandy Baltimore scoring a two-touch beauty (74') after a well-executed three-player move. Baltimore has now found the back of the net in five straight matches for France, establishing herself as a key player. Grace Geyoro was quick to follow with her impressive 18th goal for the team (85').
This win, coupled with Sweden's 6-1 triumph over Denmark and Spain's 2-1 victory over England, has qualified France, Sweden, Germany, and Spain for the Final Four of the Women's UEFA Nations League, to be held in October. The draw for the event will take place this Friday.
There's more excitement on the horizon for our French football fanatics, as the Euro is set to kick off in Switzerland from July 2 to July 27. After the departure of Wendie Renard and Eugénie Le Sommer from the team, France will be aiming to make a strong comeback at the Euro and further solidify their position as a dominant force in European women's football.
