The suspense remains full in the race to maintain after a 14th day that has tightened the gaps in the bottom of the table. Now, six points separate the twelfth and fifth place in the standings and despite the late matches that affect some teams, the maintenance is far from acquired even for the clubs that currently occupy the middle of the table.


In this context, the good operation of the weekend is probably to put the assets of Olympique Marseille. The players of OM have signed their second win of the season, again at home, this time against the Girondines de Bordeaux.

A 1-0 success thanks to a goal from Viviane Asseyi after the hour of play (65th). A decisive goal scored after a first period when both defenses held up. Geneviève Richard made a decisive intervention against Lindsey Thomas (25th) who managed to steal the ball to Caroline Pizzala in the Marseille camp.

At the end of the first period, the ball goes from one goal to the other, but again neither team manages to find the net. And after Kelly Gadéa against Paris FC, Viviane Asseyi allows OM to take the three points, following a long ball Lalia Dali-Storti. The hitter then manages to overtake the exit of Erin Nayler in the area and opens the scoring for Olympiennes.

This goal will be enough to win the victory to Roger-Lebert and allows Marseille to pick up the rankings. Always red lantern, OM is now only three points away from the first two non-relegable teams, ASPTT Albi and LOSC.


Points sharing in the Southwest


Two teams that met for this 14th day near the Maurice Rigaud Stadium in Albi. A game that ended in a draw (0-0). A new draw between the two teams that had already neutralized in the North (1-1) last fall. Gabrielle Lambert has made several decisive interventions in the Albigensian goal especially against Ouleye Sarr. The LOSC also had the opportunity to tremble with a strike by Myriam Benlazar in the first period that hit the crossbar Elisa Launay.

A division of points that does not necessarily match the two teams, unlike Rodez, who must probably be satisfied with his draw against Paris FC. At home, the Ruthenians have clung to get a 0-0 that could count for the rest, even if in the immediate future the RAF is eleventh and therefore the first relegation team. Rodez made the round back, while Paris FC had several opportunities including set-up kicks, situations that the Parisian players have not managed to exploit. Paris FC could even be trapped against Karima Benameur but was watching against Coralie Austry (62).

With this point, Rodez stays one point from Albi and LOSC, even if the RAF sees another direct opponent escape in the maintenance race with Fleury's victory this afternoon against Soyaux.
