Faced with this opponent that they could find in the second round of the continental competition, everything was not easy for the Blues. They initially led by four goals (13-9, 17th), before being caught and then overtaken in the second half (21-24, 42nd). But they managed to reverse the trend to finally win on a last goal from Alicia Toublanc.
They will face Germany again, Sunday October 2 in Nancy, before flying to North Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia, where the Euro takes place from November 3 to 20.
