L’arrière des Bleus s’est mué en héros ce mardi 6 août avec un tir du milieu de terrain au buzzer qui a permis à la France de remporter son quart de finale contre le Canada aux JO de Paris 2024.

The clock was down to one minute of play when Wemby, well caught by Lu Dort, decided to come back to his full-back, positioned a few steps from the halfway line. Defended by Shai, Fournier only had a few moments left to attempt the impossible.

Only two seconds on the 24-minute clock. Evan Fournier then unleashed a shot from nowhere, which ended up in the hoop, accompanied by the shrill sound of buzzer.

Criticized by his coach, Evan Fournier responded in the best possible way, and did not hold back from shouting “What now”, a few moments after making the 12,000 spectators at the Accor Arena explode with joy.

The fate has definitely turned. The Blues have miraculously survived, and have qualified for the semi-finals of the Olympic tournament. They will meet Germany, which beat Greece earlier in the day.
