Cascarino's fast double takes France top and denies Netherlands
The Guardian
|July 14, 2025
Andries Jonker had maintained that "on some days miracles happen" but this was most definitely not one of them.
Admittedly there was a spell when Jonker's Netherlands teased everyone by threatening France with the prospect of an unlikely elimination but ultimately Delphine Cascarino, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and the rest of Laurent Bonadei's attacking armoury were far too powerful to be eclipsed.
As France topped Group D having scored 11 goals in the course of three wins and now prepare to face Germany here on Saturday, the 2017 European Champions head back to Amsterdam and their latest head coach bids them farewell.
A hot, sunny Sunday in Basel had turned increasingly humid and it was no surprise when thunder and lightning prefaced torrential pre-match rain at St Jakob-Park. That apocalyptic preamble seemed thoroughly in keeping with a dramatic beginning in which the France goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin was quickly forced to dive low to deny Victoria Pelova from distance.
