It is in its enclosure of Saint-Brieuc, that En Avant Guingamp received its opponent, Montpellier Hérault Sport Club for the account of the 16th day. To talon Paris, the club Héraultais had the obligation to appropriate points in this meeting. After opening the scoring in the first half, the players of Jean-Louis Saez struggled to make the score and get away with a 0-2 win.

After the success of Marseille 2-0 against Paris, which surprised more than one yesterday, this match EAG / MHSC was going to be crucial for Montpellier in the first place, for their participation in the Champions League next season. A meeting that allowed Montpellier to be more than one point of the PSG. Everything is revived. Since the absence of Sofia Jakobsson following an injury last January, just after their success in the second leg against Paris (2-1) the MHSC is experiencing a shortness of breath. On the other side, the Guingampaises were in lack of success despite a fifth place hanging.

Guingamp has struggled to exist
From the beginning, Montpellier puts his foot on the ball, which will facilitate the opening of the score, which will materialize very quickly on a ball recovered by Janice Cayman, which will allow Stina Blackstenius to be alone in front Debever right , failing the Swedish, who sends a powerful ball from the left to the back of the net in the 4th minute 0-1. Guingamp left gaps that brought this situation. A balance of power installed by Montpellier, which will destabilize the Breton workforce in its construction game. Guingamp's team is suffering many attempts Héraultaise, when it struggles to create opportunities. Yet Montpellier can not find the spaces, despite a slight feverishness of the guingampaises physically, to the trouble. Linda Sembrant and her teammates will have to wait until the 30th minute to make the break, on a corner played by Torecilla, taken by Le Bihan 0-2.

Montpellier clashes with a wall
A comfortable lead in the score, which puts Montpellier in confidence, after their mishap in the Coupe de France against Saint-Etienne. Just before the end of the first half, the Montpellier have a dangerous action on a corner right side, played by Torecilla but rejected finally by Pervier. Attempts are linked but Guingamp closes the lines and remains in motion with Faustine Robert, who once again made efforts on both sides. Salma Amani is caught in the vice by Montpellier at each of her forward movements. The Breton will contain the last attacks of Montpellier until the break.

Status quo
At the return of the locker room, no change was made on both sides, and this does not benefit either team. Montpellier continues his pressing and seek to push the players in their guillotamps. This is what will happen, but without giving enough space for the Montpellier to hit the goal. In the 49th minute, Sakina Karchaoui tries to put Stina Blackstenius back in the box, but the ball is out for a corner.

Guingamp is trying to react
Just after the hour, Sarah M'Barek replaces Adelie Fourré in attack by Océane Rogon. The Bretons go up their block after having a time down, and so try to have their say in the game. A will brought to light with this opportunity in the 74th minute by Faustine Robert. Off to the right, she fired a shot at point blank Lætitia Philippe, the door Montpellier, who manages to counter the attempt. The ball falls in front of the Hérault goalkeeper, without Desire Oparanozie, can not seize this opportunity that presented itself before her, well covered by Clarisse Le Bihan. Guingamp is struggling to shake Montpellier, solid and tough on his ground. The MHSC wants to wash its failure of the Coupe de France and mastering Guingamp to do so. It is however Guingamp who will get the last opportunity of the match, on a shot from Rogon, but diverted for a corner in the 90th minute.

The match was one way, in favor of Montpellier. A benefit that will allow the club héraultais to regain color and confidence in his game, before going to play Albi. The task will announce more delicate for the players of Sarah M'Barek with a trip to Marseille next Sunday, a team that Guingamp had brilliantly defeated in the first leg.
