In the advanced match of the 8th day, Montpellier won 4 goals to 1 against Rodez. A win at home, three weeks after the last official match played and lost by the Héraultaises against Paris Saint-Germain.

It may have been the end of the tunnel for Rodez. The players of Aveyron who have just met in just a few weeks the top four teams in the championship, conceding twenty-three goals in passing, including four today against Montpellier. The rest of the calendar now seems more affordable for Rodez who will have to take points at the end of 2016.

A difficult time for RAF players who have not yet found the right pace in this first half of the season. On the occasion of this trip to Grammont, the players of Sébastien Joseph also found a former teammate, Marine Haupais tenured in the eleven of the MHSC.

The Montpellier squad quickly opened the scoring by Sofia Jakobsson in the 6th minute. At the end of the first period Laëtitia Tonazzi added a second goal (38th) in favor of Montpellier. Returning from the locker room, Rodez is the first team to hit by Océane Saunier (58th) who opens his counter this season with Rodez while Montpellier cash his first goal of the season at home.

A return of the short-lived Ruthénoises since five minutes later, Sofia Jakobsson scored the third Montpellier goal of the day (63), its eighth since the start of the season. One goal followed by another in the 68th minute, scored by Audrey Cugat, bringing the score to 4-1 for Montpellier.

A brand that will not move until the final whistle. For Montpellier, this comfortable victory allows to move on after losing to PSG end of October, although the difference was made by the two leaders before the Héraultaises. The rest of the matches are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, with the exception of the match between Soyaux and Albi, postponed to a later date.
