A 9th day of D1 Feminine half played this weekend, with three games on the program pending Saint-Etienne / PSG, Albi / OM and Juvisy / OL will be played on 1 February. With the U20 World Cup ending, six matches were postponed between late December and early February. A calendar that benefits for the moment at En Avant Guingamp which makes a first foray into the top 4.
ASJ Soyaux - FC Metz: 1-1
First goal and first point for FC Metz. Two good news singular after this draw torn in the playoffs on the lawn of Soyaux.
The players of David Fanzel had however had a difficult start to the game against a team that quickly Charentaise gained momentum in the first period. After a first goal denied to Allison Blais for offside, the Soldjaciennes opened the scoring in the 12th minute by Pamela Babinga. An action from the right with a center Allison Blais, extended in a second time by Laura Bourgouin. The ball is returned to the axis by the defense messina. Justine Deschamps can not control the ball but deflects it to Pamela Babinga who has time to control the ball and send it to Getter Laar's right-footed post.
This opener could have been the beginning of a Soyaux festival in the first period with several attempts but also Alison Blais' center in the six meters pushed back by disaster defense Messina and Getter Laar in front of Pamela Babinga. At the end of the first period, Laura Bourgouin found the crossbar on a bell shot in the area executed back to the goal.
At half-time, the score of 1-0 is flattering for a Metz team who has struggled in virtually all compartments of the game. After the locker room, the face of the game evolves with a more aggressive team messina, with players snarling and often to the limit. A change of mood that surprised Soyaux, while the referee often decided to let play.
After ten minutes in the second half, we expect to see the first goal in D1 D1 this season with Danielle Rotheram found on the right in the back of the defense. If the Charente defenders are taken aback, Romane Munich makes a decisive exit to prevent the Canadian striker to equalize. The goalkeeper was once again decisive ten minutes before the end of regulation time, stopping on his line a Metz free-kick before the ball was cleared for a corner corner.
But the best second half of FC Metz, boosted by the entrance of Lea Khelifi twenty minutes from the end, was finally rewarded. On a long balloon of Élodie Martins, Léa Khelifi inherits the balloon. If it is finally taken by the opposing defense, a misunderstanding allows Simone Gomes Jatoba to recover the ball and stands alone in front of the goalkeeper and score after eliminating Romane Munich (92). The Brazilian defender of FC Metz, converted into an attacker for this end of the game will finally be the first scorer of Metz this season.
Rodez Aveyron Football - EA Guingamp: 0-3
Guingamp continues to impress in this first half of the season. The Bretons who have the outcome of this weekend are even provisionally fourth in the standings before Juvisy. A recovery very symbolic because the players of Essonne have two games less but which reflect the good form of the En Avant on this first half of the season.
Conversely, Rodez is not finished with the bad days. The club that knows for the moment a trajectory similar to that of Guingamp last season, which had a difficult season after having played the top of the table the year before.
In the first half, the match seems caught between two teams that do not let go in midfield. Many duels and contacts and a few fewer opportunities even if both teams try to hit the goal, including on set kick. Solène Barbance requires including Maryne Gignoux-Soulier made a tap on a free-kick to 20 meters (40th). On the other side of the field, Sophia Guellati is close to deceiving his goalie but Julie Niphon finally manages to intercept the ball (25th).
After the break, Guingamp made a perfect start with a goal in Océane Ringenbach's 47th minute. The young striker started for the first time this season, scored after eliminating Manon Guitard and then close his action closely. Solid defensively, the players of Sarah M'Barek contain the will of Rodez to play higher and seek to return to the score.
On the contrary, Guingamp manages to take off. In the absence of Désiré Oparanozie, crowned this weekend in the Africa Cup of Nations, Salma Amani is at the finish. Already the author of a hat-trick against OM, the Guingampan captain scored twice in three minutes. And each time, it is on a center of Faustine Robert that Salma Amani accentuates the score in favor of the En Avant (79th and 82nd). Two goals come to close the mark in this match, and seal the fourth victory of Guingamp this season.
Girondines of Bordeaux - Montpellier Hérault SC: 0-1
What are the most bitter defeats? After taking the water at home against PSG, Bordeaux has long resisted on the lawn of Montpellier. In goals Bordeaux, Alizée Nadal was lined up for the second time this season and made a beautiful game regularly repelling the attempts of the attackers Herault. And when she was able to ward off the danger alone, she was relieved by her defense.
Bordeaux managed to hold this nil result until the 72nd minute before conceding a goal on free kick. The goal kick is rejected by Alizée Nadal, but this time Laetitia Tonazzi has followed and can send the ball to the back of the net. In the end, Bordeaux will try to return but Montpellier will manage to retain this advantage to win in this match.
