In another match, France claimed a strong victory over the USA with a decisive 3-0 score. Goals from captain Alexandre Lacazette and Michael Olise highlighted the team’s dominance on home soil.

Meanwhile, Japan continued its great form by thrashing Paraguay 5-0, utilizing their numerical advantage after Paraguay was reduced to ten men in the first half.

The soccer excitement doesn’t stop there, as other matches took place on the same day, contributing to the lively Olympic atmosphere.

With the opening ceremony approaching, moments are being captured as fans eagerly await the grand display along the Seine River. The ceremony, featuring a boat procession, promises to be a historic event as the first outdoor opening in Olympic history.
