Riding on Kadidiatou Diani's fine hat-trick, France secured a place in the last 16 with a stunning 6-3 victory against Panama in a thrilling Women's World Cup match in Sydney. The match started with a wonder strike by Panama's Marta Cox, who swerved a free-kick from 30 yards into the corner, giving her country their first-ever World Cup goal and causing tears of joy among her teammates.
However, France quickly regrouped and launched an impressive comeback. Diani was the standout player, scoring a hat-trick, including two penalties. Maelle Lakrar and Lea Le Garrec also found the net before halftime, ensuring that France went into the break with a commanding lead. In the second half, Diani added another penalty goal, completing her hat-trick. Panama, however, showed resilience and fought back, with Yomira Pinzon and Lineth Cedeno scoring goals to make it an exciting finale.
Ultimately, France sealed their victory in injury time when Vicki Becho scored their sixth goal, confirming their top position in Group F.
