"The Gallic Roosters" rose to the top of Group D

(Baonghean.vn) -Referee Bjorn Kuipers decided to temporarily stop the race between the home team Ukraine and the French team last night because of heavy rain and violent lightning falling on the Donetsk field. The revival of striker Sheva with a double that defeated Sweden in the first match to win all 3 points, temporarily leading Group D has kindled hope that Ukraine only needs 1 point in this match to have a clear chance of advancing to the next round. However, after nearly an hour of clear sky, the rain stopped, the match had to start on June 16.

With a calculated draw against the English Lions, the French team met Ukraine with great confidence. Although the match was slow for more than an hour, the two teams entered the match quite attractively. Lloris was sweating before Shevcheko's shot from a tight angle. And Ukraine's goalkeeper Pyatov also had to fly to block Mexes' dangerous header. The two teams went back and forth, but the excellence of the two goalkeepers discouraged the strikers. The first half ended with a score of 0-0.

Entering the second half, due to poor defense, within just 3 minutes the French team scored 2 goals, which was also the final score of the match. That is, in the 53rd minute, midfielder Menez received the ball on the left wing, advanced half a step, and shot the ball diagonally to open the score for the Gaulois. 3 minutes later, Cabaye received a pass from his teammate, defeating Pyatov with a skillful kick. In the remaining 30 minutes, coach Blokhin of the home team sent his strategic players onto the field one by one but could not change the situation and accepted defeat. Defeating the home team, the "Gaullois Rooster" crowed loudly to rise to the top of Group D with 4 points.
