After his draw at Saint-Etienne (2-2), Juvisy this week received La Roche sur Yon to finally launch his season and not let his competitors to the podium in D1 take off. Goal completed after his short victory (2-0), against a promoted who cash him his second defeat of rank.

In this match, Juvisy quickly launches hostilities. Janice Cayman starts in the back of the defense but loses her face to face with Romane Bruneau (6th). The Essonniennes dominate but face a long defense of La Roche. The latter remains impeccable on a host action (15th), before reacting to an opposing defensive error, which sees Celine Deville captured the ball just (16th). After a good center of the captain of Juvisy, Gaëtane Thiney, narrowly pushed back by Nakkach (21st), Cayman is still in a one-on-one but Bruneau remains flawless (23rd). La Roche sends a cold to the opposing defense on the next action, with a floating center on which Deville was beaten, but nobody manages to take it back (24th). Still above the game, Juvisy continues to push and Thiney is close to scoring a splendid goal, but his long shot hits the crossbar and the line before coming out (32). Cayman follows but Bruneau is once again vigilant. The Essonniennes finally believe opening the scoring a minute later, but Julie Machart is reported offside (33). Until the break, none of the teams found the flaw, despite some opportunities.

In the second half, Juvisy accentuates his dominance, Bruneau remaining still solid on his line (48th). Thiney also gets two big chances but after finding Bruneau on the path on the first strike (50th), she touches the right amount of the cages (53rd). On the hour of play, Cayman still gets a great opportunity, but sees his shot miss (60th). But by dint of pushing, Juvisy is rewarded. Party in the back of the opposing defense, Thiney arrives alone against Bruneau and shifts to Lilas Traikia, just entered the place of Butel, who finished the action without shaking (69th, 1-0). Touched, the Vendeennes try to react, but Deville captures well one of the only opposing strikes of the match (77th). The hosts will even drive the nail shortly after. On a center from the right, Kadidiatou Diani picks up and sends the ball to the back of the net (80th, 2-0). Led, La Roche, who has not lost on the meeting, throws his last strength in this match. She gets her last chance, with a lob that passes just above Deville's cages, but finally leans on the Juvisy 2-0 pitch.

Juvisy is reviving with this victory after his draw in the first game and back in the standings behind the big league while La Roche cash him a second rank after his defeat in Albi last week (3-0), while like the others promoted, also at two points in the standings.
