On behalf of the 13th and final day of D1 before the Christmas break, the leading quartet continued to widen the gap with the rest of the championship. Behind them, Albi and Saint-Etienne are moving away from the red.

FF Nîmes MG 0 - 10 Olympique Lyonnais

The Lyonnaises have made this weekend the box of this season. On the Nîmoises' pitch, the leaders of the D1 beat their best score this season with no less than ten goals scored. Hegerberg opened and closed the march, scoring twice in the match (7th, 77th). Between these two achievements, Majri (9th), Renard (26th), Abily (47th) and Cascarino (71st) also scored. But the one that marked this match in her footprint remains the Swede Lotta Schelin, author of a quadrupled in just under a quarter of an hour (15th, 16th, 24th, 28th). A big win 10-0 that allows the OL to increase its goal average, while Nîmes becomes the worst defense of the championship. After the holidays, Lyon will try to increase its lead in the standings against Guingamp, Paris and Montpellier competing at the same time, while Nimes will have a golden opportunity to win a first victory this season, with the reception of the VGA.

EA Guingamp 1 - 2 Montpellier HSC

Montpellier continues to cling to the Lyonnaises, but has experienced more difficulties in Britain. Opposed to the Guingampaises, the Héraultaises quickly opened the mark and made the difference, Tonazzi (11th) and Léger (14th) deceiving twice Mainguy shot after time. Before the score, the Montpellier will however quickly give way. Oparanozie managed to send the ball deep into the net of the MHSC, who shook for the second time only this season (20th). Near the equalizer, Guingamp can not, however, catch the draw on his land, Montpellier winning for the second time in a row on the smallest margins after Nimes last week. This victory allows the visitors to keep their second place before receiving the PSG in January in a decisive match in the race for Europe and the title. Opposite, Guingamp remains first non-relegable, at the height of the Roche sur Yon with 23 points, and sees the middle of the table move away.

Paris Saint-Germain 3 - 0 ASJ Soyaux

PSG also remains in place before the duel of January. In front of his audience Charléty, he came to clinch another victory in the league against ASJ Soyaux. Mittag put his team on the right track in the first fifteen minutes (13th). Paris, however, was scared afterwards, failing to conclude and exposing himself to a Sojaldcian reaction. The visitors are close to 1-1 on a few occasions. The club finally manages to seal this success in the final minutes of the meeting, Cristiane scoring a new double (85th, 93rd) allowing him to remain the second best scorer of D1. With this success, the PSG continues to believe in his chances for the first two places before moving to Montpellier. Soyaux is braked and back in seventh position before the holidays. The Charentaises will also have a major league match in January, with the reception of Saint-Etienne.

La Roche on Yon 0 - 4 FCF Juvisy

The fourth element of the leading quartet also did not shake off his bases. In front of La Roche, the Essonniennes reassured themselves by passing four goals to the hosts. All, however, decided in the second act. Soyer opened the score as soon as the locker room came back (49th), followed twenty minutes later by Catala (69th). The captain of the Parisian club, Gaëtane Thiney, comes to complete this victory with a double at the very end of the match (86th, 93rd). A great success that allows Juvisy to dig a little more gap with the fifth while remaining at the same distance from the PSG. La Roche remains scotchee to its tenth place, tied with Guingamp points and still five points from the 11th, Saint-Maur. On the next day, La Roche will try to revive in Rodez, while Juvisy will face the fifth in the standings, Albi.

VGA Saint-Maur 1 - 3 ASPTT Albi

Albi who gave himself a breath of air this Sunday. Traveling to Saint-Maur, the Albigensians wanted to clinch a fourth success this season, they who trample since three meetings. Faced with Saint-Mauriennes who were a little reassured in Lyon, Albi manages to open the scoring in the first period thanks to a penalty from Rouzies (33). The visitors are quick to push the nail as soon as the locker room via Cervera (51) but face a reaction from the hosts. The VGA manages indeed to reduce the score a few minutes later, its top scorer Ngo Ndoumbouk deceiving the vigilance of Morais (55th). Relaunched, the Parisians push to equalize but eventually get trapped, Martinez giving a decisive advantage to his team at the end of the game (84). The Albigensians are therefore in fifth position while Saint-Maur remains in the red at truce. In January, Albi will have much to do with a trip to Paris in the Coupe de France and the next day D1, a new trip to the Paris region in Juvisy. In D1, Saint-Maur will have to move him to the red lantern, Nîmes.

AS Saint-Etienne 3 - 0 Rodez Aveyron

Finally, in the last meeting of this day, Saint-Étienne also gave a good breath of fresh air. Against Rodez, the Stéphanoises continued their recovery started a little over a month ago. Chaumette (23rd) opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, before Peruzzetto (59th) and Palacin (88th) broke into the second act. Three goals and a new win that still leave ASSE in 8th place in the championship but allow him to move away from the red zone and Guingamp, now at five points. The Rafettes conceded a second consecutive setback and skated, falling back to sixth place tied with Albi. The latter will be able to restart at home in January, with the reception of La Roche sur Yon. Saint-Étienne will try to continue his recovery on the lawn of Soyaux.
