On behalf of the 5th day of D1 Feminine, VGA Saint-Maur received the En Avant Guingamp at Chéron Stadium. The visitors confirmed their victory last week against Nîmes winning (1-3) while Saint-Maur can feed him regrets.

Logically defeated in Juvisy last week, the Saint-Mauriennes wanted to raise the head at home. Their opening match confirms their intentions. From the first minute, Marlyse Ndoumbouk pushes Mainguy to work on his shot before sending the ball over. The yellow and blue continue to put the pressure of entry and that will pay. In the tenth minute, Marlyse Ndoumbouk goes deep, eliminates Mainguy before passing the ball to Lilia Boumrar who sends his shot into the net (10th, 1-0). Dominated, the Guingampaises struggle to react. Oparanozie is one of the first to create danger in the Saint-Maurienne area, but his head is captured by Delvallée (20th). To make matters worse, Melissa Plaza leaves on injury. She is replaced by the French international, Clarisse Le Bihan.

The VGA continues to be dangerous but faces a strong defense Guingampaise. The latter is decisive in repelling two big actions of the hosts, including a center that would finish at the bottom of the nets without the foot of Storti who deflects the ball (26th). The domination of Saint-Maur does not allow him however to take off to score, failing to drive the point. Marlyse Ndoumbouk passes even near his first goal of the head, but sees the opposing defender save on the line (38th). The score remains at 1-0 at halftime.

Guingamp makes some changes at the break to get back to the place, including the entry of Faustine Robert. These will pay off. Indeed, the visitors are better in the second act and will quickly pick up the score. On a corner, Le Bihan gives head to Lorgeré who deceives the vigilance of Delvallée (51st, 1-1). The Guingampaises even go close to taking the lead, Robert's goal being logically denied for a position of offside (53). In suffering, the VGA is unrecognizable and can not react. Guingamp continues to dominate and will logically manage to regain the advantage. On a free kick generously given by a referee globally exceeded in this match, Le Bihan is at the end and ends the action (61st, 1-2).

This goal creates a slight jump in the players of Régis Mohar. But it is still insufficient to return to the game. Arbitration does not help in this meeting, the referee forgetting a hand for yellow and blue and giving two yellow cards without reason to Marlyse Ndoumbouk and Aurore Paprzycki. It is in this context that Guingamp will take off. On a generous new free-kick, Oparanozie places a header that ends in the net (77th, 1-3). Stunned, the hosts spend close to cash a fourth goal, but Delvallée remains vigilant on a half volley of Le Bihan (87th). Marlyse Ndoumbouk gets one last action, but Mainguy is still present to capture the shot (90th).

The VGA Saint-Maur therefore loses 1-3 against EA Guingamp. The latter confirms his success last week against Nimes with a second win against a promoted and despite a first period missed. The Saint-Mauriennes relive the scenario of their meeting against Albi, where they had dominated the first act before completely disappear in the second. Except that in addition to a second failed act, the referee is this time come to annihilate the few miseries hopes of the hosts, the coaches of the VGA and Guingamp agreeing on the fact that the last two goals of the visitors leave from an error of the referee. The latter also leave the stadium under the boos of supporters of the VGA. Next game away for Saint-Maur in Rodez, while Guingamp will receive Paris Saint-Germain, winner against Nimes at the same time (8-0).
