<p>France came back from 1-0 down to defeat Egypt 3-1 in the semi-final of the Olympics in front of their own fans thanks to a brace from Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and a late strike from his former team-mate Michael Olise. Mahmoud Saber had given Egypt the lead but Mateta turned the game on its head, with his second goal prompting France coach Thierry Henry to produce a great celebration.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="fr" dir="ltr">La célébration de Thierry Henry. 😁 <a href="https://t.co/xSLQ0LOBXO">pic.twitter.com/xSLQ0LOBXO</a></p>— Actu Foot (@ActuFoot_) <a href="https://twitter.com/ActuFoot_/status/1820569985577885894?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Defeat to Egypt would have been a really disappointing way for France’s campaign to come to an end. Thankfully, Henry could rely on Mateta - who scored his third and fourth goals of the Olympics - and  Olise to fire the hosts to the final, where they will take on Spain. Olise teed Mateta up with a wonderful assist in the second half to make it 1-1.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Henry turned to the crowd inside Lyon Stadium and raised both arms into the air after Mateta’s header made it 2-1 in extra-time.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Stay for Thierry Henry's celebration 🤩🤩<br><br>Jean-Philippe Mateta puts France ahead late on in the semi-final!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BBCOlympics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BBCOlympics</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Olympics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Olympics</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Paris2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Paris2024</a> <a href="https://t.co/qDr6GpJk5K">pic.twitter.com/qDr6GpJk5K</a></p>— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1820571285518274973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2024</a></blockquote>
