We knew that this meeting was not going to change anything in the standings. But Juvisy was keen to rectify the shot of the first leg, lost 2-1. On the other, the Marseillaises had not come to make a show of force, either. In the end, the Juvisiennes will manage to take their revenge on the same score to Bondoufle.



The two teams were looking at each other, watching each other but the ascendancy is Juvisy who will have it. From the first minutes, Juvisy will put his foot on the ball. Marseille cash, a little without flinching, but with a Sandrine Bretigny who is impatient quickly not to receive good balloons. The player who had announced the same day to retire, was eager to finish, but it seemed that everything was on it.



Juvisy put the ingredients
At Juvisy, young people are taking up more space, logically, and intelligently. Clara Mateo at first, who on the left aisle will play Juvisy. As in the 6th minute, when she transmits a good ball at the point of penalty, for Camille Catala, but the ball is cleared by Amandine Soulard. Juvisy continues his game ahead, Marseille can not do much. This last match is difficult for the visiting team. Clara Mateo (13 ') is still in action on her side. The young juvenile manages to take the corridor and overflow to pass Kelly Gadea in the penalty area, before handing the ball a second time for Catala, well present in the game Juvisy, but Sara Yuceil comes against the attempt.
For the moment it is Juvisy who dominates with a more fluid environment, and who has more ease to find himself, but Marseille remains well organized on his side to avoid leaving too much space to his adversary and to make inevitably the easier scenario for him.
A quarter of an hour of play, it is a strike full axis of Gaetane Thiney in the 30 meters, which almost took by surprise Pauline Peyraud-Magnin. Marseille retorts at this moment. A combination between Bretigny (16 ') and Yuceil. The former international shifts to the Belgian, a game for two, at the edge of the penalty area and manages to arm a shot that brushes against the left post Deville.


Marseille is bogged down
A few minutes after that, it is the exit of Julie Soyer on wound, and the entry of Sandrine Dusang (20 ') for its last, which will modify the plans of play. It does not disturb more than that, Clara Mateo ( 27 '), which is again overflowing on its side, but its delivery is once again cleared by the young and talented Maelle Lakrar. A generation duel, which brings even more attractiveness to this last poster of the season.
When Camille Catala (29 ') comes to respond with this center flank right for Mateo on the other side, totally unmarked, Soulard was late, but she fails to arm a shot, under the pressure of the Marseillaise. She tries a recovery of the head but little supported, it is safe, and recovered by Peyraud-Magnin in the air.
Juvisy has a big grip in this match, as if to close his season. But the Ile-de-France club is not at all immune to an unfavorable scenario. The game is closed, the duels are intense, the players are looking for each other, trying to tickle themselves psychologically first and then physically. Who will have possession of the ball and the best shots to play.
Marseille was close to opening the scoring, but Greboval (38 ') will come to hinder this long free-kick hit by Peyraud-Magnin, in the Asseyi race towards the goal. The Juvisienne comes to cut the grass under her feet. Juvisy will then probably convert the last opportunity of this first act, on set kick. A free kick hit by Thea Greboval, who gets from the left to find the net at the far post 1-0.
Beyond the score to the advantage of Juvisy, the Ile-de-France club has also demonstrated a better willingness to project and build their game well. Which ended up paying off.

Marseille saves furniture
At the resumption Juvisy knows that to keep his advantage it will press high and make the break. But Marseille is not of this kind to retrench in defense to avoid another goal, and will seek equalization at all costs. An equalization that will not be long. Mistreated in defense, it is yet Kelly Gadea (46 ') who will put the Olympians in the race for victory. A head adjusted to the second post, on a free-kick 1-1. Marseille holds his equalizer. At that moment we say to ourselves that it will be in the mind, in an overwhelming heat, because the bodies are tired.
The first fifteen minutes of this second half are in favor of Marseille, who wants to take advantage of being back to score to drive the point, but Juvisy will quickly understand that the game must be in their favor.
Bretigny (50 ') will yet come to worry Juvisy. The Marseillaise recovers a ball from the center circle and tries a shot from a distance that almost lobbed Deville, but cleverly the door Juan manages to deflect the ball on his post. What an exploit, the ball was going to return. Everyone believed it. Then it is the door of Marseille to work to avoid a second goal. A saving parade of Peyraud-Magnin (66 ') just after the hour of play, on a big hit full axis of Bourdieu, in the 25 meters for his first with Juvisy, which is shifted for a corner.


Clara Mateo gives the word of the end
The draw seems to settle in the scoreboard. But both teams will want to shake the score for her. As this attempt instigated by Bretigny (74 '), only front, which was well marked at the waist by Estelle Cascarino and who comes to protect the ball for Deville, who recovers. A little lower in this match, Elisa De Almeida (84 ') will almost make the difference on this center left flank. The Juvisienne has undoubtedly marked by his talent this season, but she also knows that nothing is acquired and that at his age, we must make even more efforts.

The last minutes are intense. That's when another former U19 international will come to give the victory. This is Clara Mateo (85 ') who delivers Juvisy. The Essonnienne team takes the lead again, again at the end of suspense, as against Guingamp. A shot at the entrance to the surface, which ends just below the 2-1 crossbar!
And Juvisy was close to stretching the score in injury time. A center from the left side, signed Clara Mateo, for Lea Declercq (90 '+ 3') at the far post, but the Juvisienne can not get it back.


It was a complicated match for the 22 protagonists. At home, Juvisy wanted to look good and finish on a good note, after a mixed season, maybe even the most difficult for the club. Marseille meanwhile did not have much to lose in this match, which was meant to be a good closing of the 2016/2017 exercise for the team promoted in D1 this season.
