The French football team has secured a spot in the Olympic final after a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Egypt in the semifinals.

Despite trailing 1-0 in the second half, the team rallied to equalize with a goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta, sending the match into extra time.

With Egypt reduced to ten men, Mateta scored again, followed by a goal from Michael Olise, sealing the win.

This victory marks a significant moment for the French team, as they aim for their second Olympic gold medal, 40 years after their first in 1984. They will face Spain in the final on Friday at Parc des Princes, with hopes high for another medal for France.
