France defeated Italy, which said goodbye to the Beijing Olympic Dream, with a 2: 0 (0: 0, 2: 0, 0: 0) game.
Sasha Trejs scored both goals in the 24th and 34th minute of the match.
The Italians were not helped by the substitution of the goalkeeper for the sixth player at the end of the fight, failing to score a goal for the second match in a row and losing hope to qualify for the 2022 Olympic Games.
It has already been reported that on Thursday in Riga, France beat Hungary by 5: 3, but Latvia beat tough Italy by 6: 0.
The second round of games in all groups takes place on Friday.
Only group winners will earn a ticket to the Olympics.
