It was a shock expected on behalf of the 17th day of D1 Feminine, between Bordeaux and Metz. While in the first leg Bordeaux had won 0-1, the Bordelaises will be jostled at home. Led to the score, they will manage to equalize, but Metz will finally have the last word with a 2-1 victory in front of 442 spectators.

A little tasty start

A poster between two clubs the least ranked of the championship, and therefore relegated, in the obligation to win to hope for a better end of the season. The Bordeaux will get many opportunities starting with the second minute, with Sarah Cambot, but his attempt is opposed by the defense of Metz. the Messines will quickly respond with two strikes in two minutes (5th and 7th), but remain safe for Elisa Launay. The Bordelaises dominate the start of the match, but are not safe from a counter-Metz. Félicité Hamidouche (20th) tries to combine with Juliette Loumagne, but her shot is flying. Cambot (22nd) is at the task, as with this corner that almost returned, passing over the goalkeeper messina, but ending out of the frame. It also multiplies the attempts, sometimes pushed back by the defense of FC Metz (25th) or by the crossbar (29th).
The match is played on a fast pace between the two teams who do not want to let this match escape them. Metz is not outdone, with this head Adeline Janela (33), which does not go far from the goal of Launay. The following corner (34th) will still give chills to the Bordeaux defense, but the goalkeeper Girondine is needed in the air. Hamidouche (40th) is also on parade to counter Melike Pekel's center. A match played between the two teams, which go deep into the intensity. Sarah Cambot (42), who has scored 5 goals since the start of the season for Bordeaux, will have one last opportunity in this first act, alone in the six meters, but the ball goes over.

Wenger offers victory

The first half was intense between the two teams, but it will be necessary to wait for the second half to see the game settle down. Back from the locker room, Bordeaux is still offering the best opportunities. As with this shot of Andrea Lardez (49th) who ends on the left post! Or this combination between Emmanuelle Lacroix (52) and Cambot still on the lookout for the ball, but who can not seem to chase. Metz reacts on a counter-attack led by Héloïse Mansuy (53) in favor of Pauline Dechilly, who is back on the field, but his head is out of frame. Opportunities follow one another. Seeing no adequate solution, David Fanzel out Leah Khelifi for Meryll Wenger. A change that will pay off for the victory.

On a fast action, Metz opened the scoring through Carleigh Williams in the 62nd minute (0-1)! Metz leads to the score but will have trouble keeping Bordeaux away from the surface. It was then 20 minutes to the Girondines to turn things around. Cambot multiplies their efforts, but it is Emelyne Laurent, the new winter Bordeaux rookie, who will put Bordeaux in the game, with a header on a perfect center of Lardez (1-1)!

The match is in full swing and we feel that it will not end on this parity score. However, it will be necessary to wait the 87th minute to see Meryll Wenger to turn the meeting in favor of the Messines on a long balloon of 40 meters, which will lob the keeper Bordeaux, Elisa Launay (1-2)! Metz believed in it and snatched his first win of the season. A victory that the whole team will now enjoy, while Bordeaux lost an opportunity to make a nice operation out of the red zone.
