Though the dice has been and German
women had outshone their counterpart from France through penalty shootouts on Friday’s
night but overlooked facts had identified some inadequacy on the parts of the
officiating FIFA officials and the technical teams of German team as well as
their fellow women from France
In the match that was played
in Montreal Canada yesterday, the first half presented a tough obstacle to the two
contending teams but in the second half Louisa Necib put France in an initial lead
with a deflected shot. Celia Sasic redeemed the chances of Germany in the
encounter when she converted a controversial penalty to a goal, six minutes to
the stoppage time. This error by the referee is viewed as a denial of France’s
victory over German team.
French Gaetane Thiney who was substituted for Le
Sommer before the end of 90 missed a close range goal during the extra before
the match went into penalties that eventually nailed the ambition of the French
women into a coffin.

Though, last night was the first time German Women's
World Cup team will be going in for penalties, the German women were ready and
prepared to make strong impacts in the world females soccer. Like their male
counterparts who have made a habit of winning with penalty shootouts, on Friday
the women appeared unshaken as they converted all their five penalty kicks to
advance to the semi-finals stage of the tournament.
On the contrary, the inexperience of the French
women and the miss-calculation of their technical team showed when Claire
Lavogez missed her deciding kick for France giving Germany the shootout 5-4 win.
Whatever the excuses, the dice has been cast and
the glory sold to Germany, all it remains for France is to go home and prepare
for 2019 FIFA Women World CUP game.
