France Reaches Olympic Football Final After Comeback Win Over Egypt
France fought back from a goal down to beat 10-man Egypt 3-1 after extra time and reach the men's Olympic football final.
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice as France came from behind to reach the final of the men's Olympic football tournament.
Les Bleuets fell behind to Ahmed Refaat's early strike but equalised through Nathanael Mbuku in the second half.
Egypt defender Mohamed Abdel Salam was sent off for a second bookable offence in extra time, and Mateta made the most of the numerical advantage to score twice and seal France's victory.
France will now face Spain in the final on Friday, looking to win their first Olympic gold medal in football since 1984.
In a thrilling conclusion, France showed their resilience and determination to overcome a tough Egypt side. The victory is a testament to the team's hard work and dedication, and they will now be hoping to finish the tournament with a gold medal.
