SYDNEY – Jamaica coach Lorne Donaldson hailed Sunday’s goalless draw at the Women’s World Cup against strongly fancied France as the greatest result in the country’s football history. In only their second appearance at the showpiece, and having lost all three games...
Jamaica’s defence produced a stirring performance to repel waves of second-half attacks and frustrate the French.
“They gave us a good run for our money... but I think we need to keep a cool head. I think we deserved to win. I have full faith in my girls,” said Renard.France were hampered by injuries and kicked off without regular defenders Elisa De Almeida and Selma Bacha, who are expected to be fit to play Brazil on Saturday.Shaw was a constant nuisance and France striker Clara Mateo was booked in the 13th minute for hacking her down.
France were a different team in the second half as rain swept down, dominating possession and finding more space to launch attacks, constantly threatening as the pace picked up.
