Canada, the winner of women’s soccer at the Tokyo Olympics, beat France 2-1 in the second Group A match of the Paris Olympics 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 did not sit on the bench on his own, beat France, the home team, and won two consecutive games in the second game under the acting coach system due to the suspension of the coach’s job.

Canada, whose atmosphere has been subdued due to the recent situation, allowed France’s Mariante Cattoto to score first with a right footed shot in the 42nd minute of the first half.

However, Canada balanced with Jesse Fleming’s equalizer in the 13th minute of the second half and scored a dramatic victory with Vanessa’s winning goal just before the end of extra time in the second half.

Despite its second consecutive win, however, Canada has yet to confirm its advance to the quarterfinals. The team was found to have secretly spied on the rival team’s training with drones, which resulted in a six-point cut from FIFA.

Canada’s six points earned through its two consecutive wins have all disappeared due to FIFA’s disciplinary action. Canada, which has remained at zero points, will have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals only when it considers goal difference and multiple goals scored in the final group match.안전놀이터

Earlier, Canada’s drone scandal surfaced when a Canadian national team power analyst was arrested by local police in France on the 22nd, ahead of the first group match between Canada and New Zealand.

The analyst has been found to have spied on New Zealand’s power several times. The Canadian Football Association admitted that there was fraudulent activity and excluded Jasmine Mander, a senior coach, and Joseph Lombardi, a power analyst from the team. In addition, Beverly Priestman, who claimed that he was not aware of the incident, was also suspended from his duties. The Canadian Football Association later found out and admitted that the men’s national soccer team led by Jesse Marsch also used drones in the 2024 Copa America.

FIFA has cut six points for the Canadian women’s team in the group league and imposed a fine of 200,000 Swiss francs on the Canadian Football Association. It has also decided to reinvestigate the Canadian women’s soccer team’s gold medal process at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In the worst-case scenario, the Canadian team could be deprived of its Olympic gold medal.
