NICE, France - Wendie Renard’s own goal in a 2-1 win over Norway on Wednesday came as reminder that France need to keep their feet on the ground if they are to claim their first women’s World Cup title.
Centre back Renard deflected Isabell Herlovsen’s cross into her own goal as Norway equalized following Valerie Gauvin’s opener, five days after the Olympique Lyonnais player had scored a double in a 4-0 win over South Korea in the opening Group A game.Her error was canceled out by Eugenie Le Sommer’s penalty in the 72nd minute after a VAR review, which put Les Bleues top of Group A and needing a draw against Nigeria to advance into the last 16.
“We did what we had to do in the second half. We reacted well after my own goal, we stayed focused,” said Renard.Norway coach Martin Sjogren said he was not sure if it was a penalty or not, referring to the spot-kick awarded following a VAR review after Ingrid Engen appeared to kick Marion Torrent.
