In the shock of the 18th day, the women of Juvisy won 3 goals to 1 on the lawn of Montpellier and take the third place to their opponents of the day. A convincing victory that clears the back of the first leg at home and allows Juvisy to be full of confidence before the reception of the Lyon leader next week in Bondoufle.

The year 2016 does not look like 2015 at all for the MHSC players. The Montpellier who have long followed the leader of Lyon are now 11 points from OL and 8 from PSG which secures a little more qualification for the next Champions League. A 2016 year that has seemed to "derail" since this loss against the club of the capital. A defeat at home, and since a single win in four games against the first relegation, La Roche-sur-Yon, a draw and two defeats to finish, against Albi and Sunday against Juvisy. The MHSC will find mid-April Paris Saint-Germain in Grammont for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, a match to ward off the fate or confirm the trend.

Everything started so well ...
The disappointment of the Montpellier after this match should be amplified by the fact that they are the ones who open the scoring in the 4th minute. A confused move on the right side, where it was thought for a second that the ball had crossed the field while Viviane Asseyi and Aissatou Tounkara were fighting. The referee saying nothing, the game continues with Marion Torrent centering towards Sofia Jakobsson. The Swedish attacker takes over on Julie Soyer, but it is the Essonne defender who deflects the ball into his own net. A goal made partly possible by the hazardous exit of Karima Benameur, the ball can thus return quietly in the goal of Juvisy.

In the wake of the goal, Montpellier will continue to control the game, not allowing Juvisy to develop his game despite interesting actions on kick set or counterattack.

But Juvisy will manage to loosen the vice. In the 28th minute, taking advantage of the good pressing of Kadidiatou Diani, Gaétane Thiney recovers the ball in the camp of Montpellier and launches her teammate in depth. The speed of Diani allows him to make the difference and to face the goal. His cross shot hits the post after being diverted by the keeper of Montpellier, Lætitia Philippe. But a few seconds later, the goalkeeper of Montpellier will not manage to postpone the deadline a second time. On the release of Montpellier, the ball is recovered again high by the defense of Juvisy. The ball reaches Théa Gréboval who delivers a center millimeter for Gaétane Thiney. Juvisy's top goal scorer controls the ball perfectly, and Lætitia Philippe's right foot fits.

At the end of the first period, Juvisy will again have the opportunity to score by Janyce Cayman and Kadidiatou Diani this time without being able to deceive the vigilance of the rearguard of the MHSC.

In a flash !
If Juvisy's players struggled to find solutions in the first half, everything was unblocked from the start of the second act. In the space of a minute, the players of the Juv 'scored two goals, with Thiney, Diani and Cayman each time involved.

The first goal came on a corner in the 47th minute. Struck by Gaétane Thiney, the ball is, apparently, deflected by Janyce Cayman, which surprises the keeper of Montpellier who pushes the ball into the feet of Kadidiatou Diani who has only to push the ball at the bottom nets. 60 seconds later, Janyce Cayman allowed Juvisy to take the break, scoring his first goal of the season.

Initially, a ball recovery of Diani in the feet of Marie Charlotte Léger. The international tricolor resists several Montpellier and serves in the depth Gaétane Thiney who puts in a touch for Janyce Caman. The Belgian player ideally placed at the penalty box, hits the goal and deceives Laetitia Phillipe who touches the ball without being able to prevent it from ending in the net. 3-1 for Juvisy, we play the 49th minute.

This incredible scenario will bring a blow to the morale of the players of Jean-Louis Saez who will never really return in the match. The biggest opportunity for Montpellier came in the 65th minute when Utsugi hit the goal after a Marie Charlotte Léger acceleration, a goal shot but easily postponed by Karima Benameur.

A victory for Juvisy and his two best scorers, Thiney and Diani, but also for the midfielder of the Juv ', composed of Anaig Butel and Ines Jaurena. Both players delivered a great performance in the midfield and were valuable in the recovery of the ball and the failure of Montpellier attacks.

A success and probably a lot of satisfaction for Emmanuel Beauchet, the coach of Juvisy. A result and the recovery of this third place that could prove provisional, given the next opponent of Juvisy, namely the OL, which will move in the Essonne on April 3. A meeting and its outcome that will partly determine the scope of the very good result obtained by the teammates Gaétane Thiney on the Grammont lawn.The other results of the 18th day
