A goal in the last 20 minutes of the match was enough for France to win 1-0 and leave the National team out of the top four of the European Deaf Football Championship in Antalya.
France beat Greece 1-0 for the quarter-finals of the European Deaf Championship in Antalya and now Giorgos Karatzas’ players will claim a place between 5-8, which will be the best in the competition after the bronze in Heraklion in 2019 and the fourth place in 1995 in Berlin.
The French goal was achieved in the 67th minute by Le Bigot in a game that was balanced both in the first and second half and with “tight” defenses and it seemed that whoever scored the goal would also be the winner.
In the 60′ we had a forced change due to injury, of Ioannidis with Mikelatos, who was replaced by Giorgos Karatzas in the 91′ with Tsoutis.
Our representative group in the last minutes of stoppage time played with nine players, as Roufas and Trikalitis were sent off with a straight red card.
The next game of the national team is next Thursday at 10:30, against the loser of the Italy-Germany pair.
France (Romain Mathieu): Leroux, Mendy, Berthier (54′ Square), Massoud, Le Bigot, Coita (73′ Brunetta), Bardin (54′ Juliano), Théophile Recombère, Noten, Cousegaran, Paul Recombère (63′ Goueau)
Greece (Giorgos Karatzas): Andreousopoulos, Tsianos, Trikalitis, Georgiadis, Karabelas, Spinoulas, Skebi, Roufas, Pavlopoulos, Ioannidis (60′ Michelatos, 90’+1′ Tsoutis), Karapiperis
