In Front Guingamp - ASJ Soyaux: 1-0


The Guingampaises received Soyaux, one of the best placed teams in the race to maintain, always more indecisive. A balanced game where it was not until the last minute of regulation time to see the only goal of the game. A goal from Amandine Beche, which gives the winners a victory over the wire. Three important points that allow them to go back to the seventh provisional place with four points ahead of the red zone. Soyaux on the other hand loses the opportunity to take the fourth place behind the OL-MHSC-PSG trio, and to get closer to the maintenance.


Rodez AF - Lille OSC: 2-1


Rodez will have to play the end of the season and seek the support without his midfielder Julie Peruzzetto, injured in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, lost to PSG at the weekend and regularly decisive this season in the construction of the game offensive Ruthenian. No doubt an additional source of motivation for the Rafettes, even if it is the northerners who offer themselves the first opportunities. On a counter, Jana Coryn center to Ouleye Sarr, only in the axis. The coiled shot of the striker Lille strikes the crossbar of Déborah Garcia (11th). The door of the RAF is then decisive on a shot by Kenza Dali who went into the small net (34th) and allows his team to join the locker room on a score of 0-0.

In the second half, Sarr continues to try his luck for Lille, to no avail. Especially since it is Rodez who opens the scoring, on a penalty obtained by Laurie Cance (62). Flavie Lemaitre transforms it by taking Elisa Launay against the foot. Effective offensively, Rodez makes the break on an individual action of Marine de Sousa (85th). Part on the right wing, the Ruthenoise gets rid of his vis-à-vis and strikes the goal of the left. In the process, the LOSC reduces the score through Rachel Saidi who takes over a center of Sarr. But that does not prevent the Rafettes from imposing itself.

Thanks to these three points, Rodez returns to a point of Albi, first non-relegable. The club of Aveyron will move on the next day at his neighbor Tarn for a crucial match in this race maintenance.


Olympique Lyonnais - ASPTT Albi: 4-0


After qualifying Wednesday for the semi-finals of the Champions League against FC Barcelona, ​​Reynald Pedros has rotated its workforce. But, when we see the depth of bench of the champions of France, this does not prevent the players of the OL to go without difficulty to look for an 18th victory in the league this season.

The Rhodaniennes will soon open the scoring, on a corner headed by their captain Wendie Renard (4th). Gabrielle Lambert will not have a second time, pushing the ball in front of Renard's head on this other corner (12th). This awakens a little Albi who will project into the opponent's area, but without success in the image of the shot by Dejana Stefanovic (18th). The Albigensians will cash a second Lyon goal on a counter. Selma Bacha overflows right and center for Ada Hegerberg who cuts at the first post (33). The Norwegian then offers a double in the second half, victoriously taking a free kick from Dzsenifer Marozsan, entry on time (66th). Also in the game, Eugénie Le Sommer scored the final goal of OL after eliminating Lambert (80th).

With eleven points ahead of Montpellier and Paris four days from the end, there is mathematically missing one point in Lyon to secure a twelfth consecutive title. A new coronation that could take place the next day
