Match Notes
The French Federation and the IRL reported that Mahault Pommier kicked 18 goals for France, which would likely be a record in international matches. However, a review of the match footage confirms that Pommier shared the goal kicking with Lauriane Canet.
The IRL match report also made no mention of a penalty goal attempted by Serbia in the 48th minute. The score was then 64-0. The kick was missed despite being taken from 15 metres out and only slightly off centre from the posts.
