Corinne
Diacre’s
France
side
are
still
through
to
the
last
eight
as
Group
D
winners,
but
missed
the
chance
to
go
three
wins
from
three
in
Rotherham
on
Monday
(July
18).

Despite
the
loss
of
Marie-Antoinette
Katoto
to
a
knee
injury,
France
seized
a
swift
lead
in
the
opening
minute
through
Melvine
Malard,
with
the
PSG
forward
and
Grace
Geyoro
also
having
goals
disallowed.

That
gave
Iceland
a
modicum
of
hope
to
move
into
the
last
eight,
but
Dagny
Brynjarsdottir’s
102nd-minute
penalty

after
a
lengthy
VAR
deliberation

proved
to
be
too
little,
too
late.

It
was
Belgium
who
advanced
in
Manchester
thanks
to
a
Tine
De
Caigny
finish
shortly
after
the
interval,
which
sends
them
into
the
quarter-finals
of
a
major
tournament
for
the
first
time
in
their
history.

They
will
make
the
short
trip
to
Leigh,
where
they
will
face
much-fancied
Sweden
on
Friday,
with
France
in
Rotherham
once
again
to
do
battle
with
the
Netherlands
on
Saturday.
