France rules blind football in Paris Paralympics

Quick Summary:

PARIS — France defeated Argentina, 3-2, on penalties under the lights of the Eiffel Tower for the gold medal in blind football on the penultimate day of the Paralympic Games.

That made it three from three for the US in Games basketball after the men and women won thrilling finals against France at the Olympics last month, also at Bercy Arena.

The five-time defending champion, which had never lost a match before Thursday’s penalty loss to Argentina in the semifinals, was consoled by the bronze medal after a 1-0 win over Colombia thanks to a fierce strike from Jefinho in the 24th minute.
