This Sunday, at the end of the first leg of the D1 2017-2018 championship, two big posters were playing in the race to maintain. Fleury finishes this first part of the season in a whirlwind going to prevail at Guingamp and leaves at the same time of the red zone. In the other match, Marseille lost to Rodez and remain without a win after 11 matches.



Before Guingamp - FC Fleury: 1-2


As for the Côtes-d'Armor the game started well for the Guingampaises who opened the scoring thanks to Léa Le Garrec (27th). Desire Oparanozie is found on the left side of a beautiful cross, it overflows and makes a center recessed at ground level. The Garrec is perfectly placed at the penalty box to receive this center and put the ball at the bottom. But in this balanced match, Fleury - who had already found the post - will equalize before half-time. Salma Amani launches in the depth Julie Rabanne who dribbles the Breton door Solène Durand, at the entrance of the surface, before concluding in the empty goal (40th). In the second half, Charlotte Fernandes, little success last weekend, this time will find the way to the nets and at the same time give the victory to his team (70th). Thanks to this second consecutive victory, Fleury leaves the relegation zone for the first time this season. The club of Essonne thus goes back to 9th place, just in front of his opponent of the day Guingamp. If it starts to be a little worrying for the players of Sarah M'barek, for their part the Essonniennes are perfectly launched in their season and will be able to fully play their chance of maintenance.


Rodez AF - Olympique Marseille: 4-2


A race to maintain that is complicated every week for Olympique Marseille. Fourth last year, the Marseillaises are red lantern at the end of this eleventh day with only three small points. Three points from draws, since the players of Christophe Parra did not win a single match. This Sunday in Rodez, the nightmare continued. Julie Peruzzetto opened the scoring in the fourth minute for the Rafettes and Marseille knows then that the task will still be tough. Especially when returning from the locker room Flavie Lemaître will make the break on penalty (55th), just before Clara Noiran scored the third goal Ruthenian (59th). Reductions in the score of Cindy Caputo (67th) and Viviane Asseyi (93rd) will not change anything after the match, especially that in the meantime Flavie Lemaître is offered a doubling of a header (83rd). With this first win at home Rodez goes back to 8th place. For its part Marseille sees, helpless, the gap to dig more and more, but with six points behind the first non-relegation, the Marseillaises can still believe in the maintenance. For this it will show a face much more convincing in the return leg, and this next weekend against Paris FC.
