France's U23 team defeated Egypt in extra time, with Jean-Philippe Mateta's brace leading the way in a 3-1 victory after Egypt were reduced to 10 men. This result sees the Bleuets reach the Olympic final for the first time since 1984, when the team led by Henri Michel triumphed in Los Angeles. Coach Thierry Henry was overjoyed, showcasing his dancing skills in the dressing room to celebrate this important win. France will now face defending Olympic champions Spain in the final on August 9th at the Parc des Princes.
