France makes history by winning in a penalty shootout against Argentina

The French team keeps up the good work

A huge save from Alessandro Bartolomucci just two minutes into the second half sets the tone. The goalkeeper relieves everyone by quickly diving to his right. Shortly after, he repeats the feat with another save following an Argentine corner that ends with a shot from Espinillo (8 shots from Argentina with 5 on target, while the French team only has 4 shots with 1 on target at this point). The Bartolomucci show continues with yet another save, as the French keeper battles fiercely with Espinillo tonight. These saves highlight the offensive struggles of the French team.

"Shalalalala, allez les Bleus!" The crowd cheers whenever they can, urging their team towards a historic Paralympic victory. Three minutes remain!

With 30 seconds left, Argentina wins a free kick! The atmosphere at the Eiffel Tower Stadium is unbearable... The ball is blocked by the warrior Frédéric Villeroux, who gave everything until the very end. It's time for the penalty shootout!
