Everton midfielder Dali shines again as France defeat Kazakhstan | OneFootball

Everton midfielder Kenza Dali impressed for France again by scoring one goal and creating two more in the nation’s 5-0 victory over Kazakhstan in Nur-Sultan earlier today.

Dali made a real impact when coming off the bench for Les Bleues in an 11-0 victory over Estonia on Friday. She scored one goal and assisted two others in that game and she repeated that feat when starting for Corinne Diacre’s side in Kazakhstan.

The midfielder began today’s game in the same form in which she ended the last one on Friday. Dali created France’s opening goal against Kazakhstan in the ninth minute, allowing Marie-Antoinette Katoto the opportunity to get her name on the scoresheet.

Dali then got her goal eight minutes later before completing a 23-minute hat-trick of goal creations when she again played in teammate Katoto to score her second goal of the game.

Melvine Malard added two further goals for France either side of half-time as Diacre’s side completed a 5-0 victory which leaves them at the top of their FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia New Zealand 2023 qualifying group with four wins out of four.

France are back in FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia New Zealand 2023 qualifying action next month when they face Kazakhstan and Wales in back-to-back home matches.
