Opposed to the Faroe Islands on Monday as part of qualifying for Euro Espoirs 2023, the Bleuets were neutralized in Toftir (1-1).
Despite the quick goal of Gouiri (8e), Sylvain Ripoll’s players were surprised in the second half by the Faroese, who came back after a blunder from the unfortunate Meslier (55e).
