At Auguste Delaune stadium, RC Saint-Denis received the ASJ Soyaux for the 1 / 16th finals of the Coupe de France. After a time on the Dionysian, the players of the Southwest have started from the 30th minute of the game thanks to a doubled of Tolmais, and a realization of Bourgouin before adding to the score late in the game (5-0 ).


The start of the match is not obvious to appreciate, as the game is jerky. Unbeaten this season, Saint-Denis wants to count on it to thwart Soyaux. But faced with the insistence of the Sojaldiciennes, the Parisians will be forced to give in. In his formation Sébastien Joseph is a 3-5-2 with the duo Tolmais / Babinga in tip and Laura Bourgouin who will bring the overdue offensive sometimes right, sometimes left. While Anna Clerac will come to play support for the midfield, and even in defense of some dangerous actions of Saint-Denis.


A slow start

At kickoff, Saint-Denis balance and Soyaux knows right away that he will have control of the ball but not necessarily the control of the match. This is going to happen, unfortunately. The match is going to be difficult to follow, the two teams are going for blow and fail to unfold their game. Soyaux slightly more ease and serenity but fishing in front of the goal, due to a sudden decline in group cohesion . After hitting Paris on the first day of the championship, the Sojaldiciennes had chained the good matches including Anna Clerac, which raised its level compared to last season, which even earned him his first meeting in France B team. But like his team, some changes have been difficult to overcome.

The beginning of this part has demonstrated it. It is Anna Clerac precisely who will get maybe the first opportunity of the match, but his shot is completely unscrewed. Soyaux fishing in the finish but has the grip on this match. On the side of Saint-Denis, the team is struggling to build its game and to be together in the field. But as in every confrontation, no team is immune to a goal. Soyaux will be witnessed, when on a free kick from Cama Coulibaly of 30 meters, Justine Deschamps (20th) must intervene to ward off the danger in front of Romane Munich.

Soyaux will then go up in rhythm, with a second attempt of striking, this time it is signed Laura Bourgouin (26th) after Anna Clerac, but it is again above. Leila Meflah must also intervene to avoid the goal. The latter knows the D1 well, having evolved with the VGA Saint-Maur few seasons, especially during the rise in D1. His experience will be a real support for his team, tossed by Soyaux.


Tolmais unblocks the situation

And by analyzing their opponents, the players of Sébastien Joseph pass over "their lack of cohesion" and open the scoring. A good ball right side for Laura Bourgouin, who comes to center at the far post, a ball cut by the neo-Sojaldicienne Danielle Tolmais (30th) 0-1. The first but not the last for the Franco-American. Anna Clerac (32) is once again trying to open his counter-goal in the match, on this shot full axis in the box, but it is blocked involuntarily by Tolmais in front of the goal of Saint-Denis. Laura Bourgouin (35th) will have more luck, when she receives a good ball of Pamela Babinga 0-2.

Danielle Tolmais (38th) also had a great opportunity to break for Soyaux, but her recovery from inside the foot ended directly in the gloves of the goalkeeper of Saint-Denis. And the solidity of the goalkeeper will often be put to contribution, but also allow his team to develop a little better his game. As on this first big opportunity in the 39th minute, but in front of the compact defense of Soyaux, the Dyonisiennes have hard to be decisive. It took a long time to see the danger in the Soyaux camp, proof once again of the difference in level between the two clubs in this match. A fact that will still settle with the doubled Tolmais (40th), which takes a good pass from Bourgouin in the 0-3 zone of truth.

A first almost one-sided period and which translates a certain ease of the players of Soyaux to place their actions and to circumvent the defensive block of Saint-Denis. And the recovery, the game of the Charente players continues on the same pace and without sharing. But after showing a lack of involvement, the players of Steeve Pinto will raise their level and their aggressiveness on the ground. An awareness that comes a little late, but that will give hard time to Soyaux.

Yet quickly in the second half, Soyaux has possession and tries to continue in the same direction. The first attempt is for Anna Clerac (50th) on the left flank right in the penalty area, which passes to Pamela Babinga full axis, but it is opposed by a defender of Saint-Denis. And the Paris club will have his first free kick after that, with a recovery Sabah Seghir (54th) repelled by the defense of Soyaux.

Sébastien Joseph then decided to make his first change with the release of Clémentine Canon and the entry of the experienced Anaïs Dumont (56th). And the latter will quickly have an opportunity to weigh down the score just before the hour of play. Following a center left side of Léonie Fleury, his recovery on the ground is not powerful enough to deceive the goalkeeper , Mathilde Hebrard, also embarrassed by a defender of Saint-Denis on his attempt. The second change of Soyaux is operated with the exit of Anna Clerac who will have made a lot of displacements in this hour of play, it gives way to Gwendoline Djebbar (61st). A change that will have the effect of creating a certain imbalance for a few minutes. A central player in the workforce, it must be managed to build confidence to develop its best qualities. Follows Elba Verges, with the entrance of Aurelie Rouge (67th).


Saint-Denis raises the tone

Just after that, Léonie Fleury must work to avoid an opposing goal, on the head of a player from Saint-Denis, after the corner hit by Teuntje Van Herwijnfn (68th). The latter will be involved in many actions of Saint-Denis and will be the best to give the answer to Soyaux, in the physical impact, when Leila Meflah will be more in the temper of the game, and Khadija Ben Haddou in the actions offensive, and the technique. So many profiles that could be better used on the side of Saint-Denis, current leader of its division in Regional 1.
 
After the hour, Pinto also made a change with the exit of Aminata Doucoure and the entrance of Sebe Coulibaly (69th) to bring more offensive spirit. The coach knows that the mistake can come from Soyaux to place a goal on the side of Saint-Denis, but the task will announce titanic. However, the door of Saint-Denis will be a real contribution on this second half. In the 71st minute, on this parade after the good movement of Léonie Fleury from the left flank to the goal. His shot went out for a corner. Fleury then undertakes to hit him, and Marie Aurelle Awona (74th) tries a recovery that crashes on the bar of Saint-Denis. But despite the three goals in advance, Soyaux also misses a lot, as this attempt to Tolmais (75) alone against Hebrard, who misses his treble, his ball flies out of the box.

The last change for Saint-Denis comes a quarter of an hour from the end, with the exit of Sebe Coulibaly and the entry of Barbara Figueras (76th). The minutes are long and the tension goes up between Soyaux and Saint-Denis. The public also wants to finish with this match can be a good non-match, given the difference between the two teams. But the Dyonisiennes do not lower their heads so far and continue to answer Soyaux. As on this rescue of Teuntje Van Herwijnfn, on the cannon ball of Tolmais, which is rather a pass for Dumont (81st).

At the very end of the match, Saint-Denis probably has his first frank opportunity, with this attempt by Assita Diarisso, on a long ball Van Herwijnfn. Diarisso manages to pass Aurelie Rouge who stumbles within 20 meters back to the goal, but Diarisso's shot is completely unscrewed (82). An action that falls in the water but that could have hurt Soyaux. The Sojaldiciennes then take control of their match. Like this combination with Pamela Babinga (86th) right lane, which gives to Dumont at the entrance of the box, and center post second. It is cut by Fleury but it is not powerful enough to take default Hebrard. The door of Saint-Denis will even have a new parade to be done just two minutes after that.


Soyaux received five out of five

The physical intensity is too strong for Saint-Denis, who begins to be more and more overtaken in impact. And the club blow is going to be hard to swallow. But before that, Soyaux combines quite seriously on this action. A center Babinga (89th) flank right on the other side with Tolmais who prefers to put the ball inside for Dumont who was not ready to try the shot, too crossed it is not framed. Gwendoline Djebbar (90th) entered the 61st minute, also has the ball 5-0 but his shot is not powerful enough to worry the keeper of Saint-Denis. But Tolmais will take the last shot. The French-American takes a ball from the head near the far post, after the big shot by Elise Courel
