However, the few counters Rouen proved sometimes dangerous, forcing the door Yzeurienne, Patricia Morais, has some parades. At half-time, the score remained zero and blank. On the restart, the Yzerian girls showed their desire for victory but were only rewarded in the 77th minute thanks to a goal from Allison Blais. The break was made at the very end of the match via Océane Troncin. At the end of this day Rouen and Yzeure keep their places in the ranking.
Sarah Chalabi's reaction:
- Tag: Sarah can you give us your impressions on this match?
- Sarah: first of all, it was a rehearsal match because since the break we only played in the Coupe de France. It was therefore necessary to get back into the championship, something that is not obvious, especially as we are entering the return phase and we are among the favorites. All games will be played at little, details. It was therefore necessary to make a big game at home, make a good start to facilitate the task. Unfortunately, despite domination from us, we returned at half-time with a blank score. After we knew how to be patient. There was a bit of technical waste, which is a bit normal for a rehearsal match. We had to find landmarks and resume automatisms. I was surprised because there was a lot of rhythm but we were able to respond present and patient to score these two goals late in the game. But the main thing is victory.
Arnélia Koutoupot's reaction:
- Tag: what is your feeling after this precious victory to keep the 1st place of the group?
- Arnelia: Satisfactory match overall. I think we had the ball control for almost 90 minutes. There were some dangerous counter-attacks from Rouen but I think the match was under control. We had some difficulties in finishing but there is 2-0 at the end so it's a big satisfaction and it will continue like this.
- Tag: not too difficult to face your old club and former partners?
- Arnélia: no because the field is the ground even if when we find ourselves outside we laugh. But I admit that it's always weird to play against his old club. Just make the difference.
Reaction of Elise Kissane:
- Tag: Elise can you tell us what you think about this sluggish game despite the fact that you played only ten minutes?
- Elise: Me what I felt on the bench is that we dominate but we can not score, this is our main fault. It's our fault this season, we dominate a lot of teams but we get into trouble by returning to 0-0 at halftime. And as the end of the match approaches we have to push, push, push to score but this is done and we are happy with the victory that keeps us first.
