For this 3rd day of D1, Albi received Juvisy at Stade Maurice Rigaud for a meeting with direct challenges. After a little over 90 minutes, Juvisy finally won 2 to 1 without being very dominating. Story of an open meeting where the victory was played on details.

20 minutes of floating, everything switches
From the start of the match, the Juvisy players will be very pushy near the cages of Albi, without being able to bring the danger against a well organized Albigensian defense. Clearly, this afternoon the yellow Albi have a shot to play against a team in the changing Ile-de-France, which still lacks automation in both offensive and defensive phases. Let's be honest, what made and is still the strength of the Juvisiennes is the cohesion that exists within the group and the versatility of Gaëtane Thiney. Where most players just excel in a game area, the captain of the Juv 'knows how to put his paw in defense, in the middle and in attack at high level ... Finally, when she is in the match! Today, that was the case and believe me, it is one of the details that made the difference on the field, even if it is not she who will open the score, but a key element of the defense , Sandrine Dusang. A few minutes after the quarter of an hour of play, at 17 ', she recovers a wandering ball near the goal and takes advantage of the decline of vigilance after a set kick. On this kind of action, some speak of opportunism, and others who know the full potential of the former Lyonnaise, high-level experience and here is one more detail.
Additional detail, in their exchanges, the young captain Anaïs Arcambal (22 years old) and his teammates are still too soft, too naive and sometimes lack of percussion to play thoroughly the good moves that occur because, the meeting remains very open.
Until the direct free-kick of Gaëtane Thiney, we are at the 27 ', which will sound like a thunderclap throughout the stadium ... Or, it is a shower of hail a few kilometers ... Few Anyway, the score is now 0 to 2 and many say that the dice are thrown!
Imagine a little effusion of joy in the stands, totally acquires the cause of the local team, when Alexandra Renault cheats Céline Deville at 29 '. This reduction of the score as brutal as unexpected suggests again, these small details with the appearance of imperfections; who led Juvisy to a draw against Saint-Etienne during the first day ...
Has the club of Essonne really learned from its mistakes? If we build on the defensive strategy put in place during the second period: yes, clearly!
However, this lack of sporting appetite, this thirst for winning, is this really what is expected of the small Gallic village of the D1 female?
Nevertheless, at this game, even the accelerations of Kim Cazeau, attacking very legs, do not allow Albi to be realistic enough to bring the danger to hang a draw. In short, the yellows may have some regrets about the outcome of this meeting where their efforts could have been better rewarded.
Juvisy's small victory, which thanks to the draw between PSG and the MHSC, is reviving in the standings, but will have to do much better against experienced teams to continue its race to one of the top 3 places in the standings.

Final score: 1 - 2
Juvisy goal bangers: Sandrine Dusang, Gaëtane Thiney
