In match 8 of the day, the ASPTT Albi received the ASJ Soyaux. An important match for both teams in the maintenance race. A meeting which turned to the advantage of Soyaux with a victory which was drawn in the second period for the players of Charente.

For Albi, the race for maintenance started this Sunday with the reception of Soyaux, one of the three games late for the team of Tarn following postponements at the time of the U20 World Cup. In the same way that the reception of the OM, on February 1st, this match against Soyaux is part of the meetings where a positive result is almost an imperative for the team of Adolphe Ogouyon, considering the position of Albi, currently penultimate and first relegatable of D1.

This pressure of the result is felt at the beginning of the meeting with a team of Albi who shows up well at the beginning of the match despite a possession rather to the advantage of Soyaux. However, Albi gradually manages to recover exploitable balls against.

In attack, Adolphe Ogouyon had chosen to associate Sabrina Barbe with Patricia Martinez Augusto. Trained at ASJ Soyaux, Sabrina Barbe had a good season in D2 with Bordeaux last year. After putting football in parentheses, she had then joined Albi and fall and was disputing today his first minutes with the ASPTT.

The good start of Albi
Sabrina Barbe, we find her on the first interesting situation of the match. Found right on a Albigensian counter, she manages to center back in the area to Laurie Saulnier whose shot is finally captured by Romane Munich (9th). A minute later, Soyaux manages to carry the danger in front of the goal. Alison Blais manages to find Pamela Babinga right side, who center strong in the six meters Albigensian. Laura Bourgouin arrival thrown, fails to cut the ball at the far post.

But in this early game, it is Albi who is the most effective. On a ball recovered by Laurie Saulnier midfielder, Kristina Pantelic hit the axis and then shifts Laurie Saulnier who continued his action right side. Saulnier then serves Sabrina Barbe back in the surface. The Albigensian striker manages to clear a defender on his control and then hits the penalty box, an attempt that can not stop Romane Munich (12th).

In this first period, Nicolas Goursat's team seems to be reacting. As after the first opportunity of Albi, Soyaux seems to raise the tone when his opponents of the day is dangerous. After the goal of the ASPTT, Soyaux is more enterprising and quickly manages to return to the score. In the 17th minute, Julie Thibaud right side manages to find Laura Bourgouin in the surface on an air center. At the far post, Bourgouin places a crossed head that deceives Cindy Perrault on his right.

The rest of the first period sees the two teams stand in respect without being able to take the ascendancy. Before the break, Soyaux is close to take the lead, again by Laura Bourgouin, the attacking striker kicks a free kick to twenty meters, an attempt that fails on the crossbar Albigensian (39th).

Soyaux changes face after the break
Sometimes waiting in the first period, the players of Soyaux start the second period with other intentions. A laundry and a desire to play higher that quickly takes Albi in default. Following a poorly cleared ball by the Albi defense, Anna Clerac inherits the ball and manages to get rid of Manon Cazes before lobbing Cindy Perrault on a shot at sixteen meters (47th).

An advantage taken by Soyaux and which could have rapidly increased. On a ball in the back of the Albigensian defense, Laura Bourgouin avoids the exit of Perrault but then stumbles on Manon Rouzies, on his line and who diverts the ball for a corner (51).

Albi does not seem to be there any more, Soyaux wins almost all the duels, and the defenders seem more and more far from the carrier of the ball on the accelerations Soldjian. However, the Tarn players keep one time hope to return to the score. On the hour of play, Anaïs Dumont, the captain of Soyaux makes a decisive intervention in front of Kimberley Cazeau close to take a center of Pilar Khouri (entry to the place of Laurie Saulnier) right side.

Nakkach and Bourgouin shelter Soyaux
Hope to return to the score showered in the 71st minute. Under pressure, Albi returns the ball to Soyaux close to his goals. Right side, Elodie Nakkach address a center-shot that crosses the surface without being deflected but ends his race in the small net opposite the goal of Cindy Perrault. A blow to Albi who sees even Soyaux fly away six minutes later. On a fast attack launched right side Cynthia Viana is served and then back in the line to Laura Bourgouin. Lonely at the entrance to the surface, the Sojaldicienne striker manages to avoid the exit of Cindy Perrault and this time send the ball to the empty goal.

4-1 and a folded part after a controlled second period of Soyaux who managed to put pressure on a team of Albi too feverish to replicate. A frustration that will feel at the end of the game with live Albigensian players and the feeling of having missed the meeting after the break. For the Sojaldiciennes, this result makes it possible to return to the classification, to nine points of Albi and thus at a distance from the red zone.
