The head coach led Les Bleues to first position in their group, with a controversial penalty helping them beat the Super Falcons
Corinne Diacre spoke about the Video Assistant Referee’s (VAR) decision after seeing France benefit from a debatable retaken penalty call in a 1-0 win over Nigeria at the Women’s World Cup.
There were just 15 minutes remaining on the clock when Les Bleues were awarded a spot-kick against the African champions after a poor Nigerian challenge in the penalty area at Roazhon Park in Rennes.
Despite Wendie Renard initially missing from the spot for the hosts, the penalty had to be retaken after Nigeria’s goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was adjudged to have taken her two legs off the line. Thereafter questions were asked about this VAR decision.
