The French then had more trouble breaking the defense of Wales, but just before the break came in the lead by a striking penalty from Kadidiatou Diani. Shortly after the break, Amel Majri doubled the lead on the indication of Mateo, so that the British resistance was definitively broken. France ran even further via Grace Geyoro.
