On behalf of the sixth day of D1 women, Soyaux won 3 goals to 2 on the turf of the Girondines de Bordeaux. A spectacular match where Bordeaux led twice and a hat-trick for Laura Bourgouin who gave the victory to the Soldjaciennes.

It was a match at the crossroads between two teams tied in the standings before the game. Two teams close geographically, with an audience at the rendezvous and including supporters of the men's team Bordeaux who made the trip to Bouscat this Sunday. Bordeaux and Soyaux who had a first opportunity to move away from the red zone and settle in the middle of the table behind the untouchables of the top 4.

For Bordeaux, it was also a way of assessing the ability of the Girondines to adapt to the level of the D1 Feminine. The first test was inconclusive against Saint-Étienne with a 7-0 defeat at home but since the Bordelaises took points in Albi and Guingamp, and managed the best start of the season among the three promoted.

In this meeting, the Bordelaises played at home, but the possession of the ball is from the beginning of the game to the advantage of Soyaux. Charente players, who have situations quickly enough in the game or kick shot stopped. The first shivers arrive at fifteen minutes of play with Anna Clérac close to take the ball within six feet on a center of Laura Bourgouin. But she does not manage to adjust her recovery well embarrassed by the return of Andrea Lardez (15th). A minute later, Anna Clérac places a shot in the area that passes just above the crossbar.

A flight of beauty
Mastery for Soyaux, but not yet goal. On one of the rare exits bordelaises in the opposite camp, the ball is disputed right side at the foot of the stand occupied by the "kop Girondin". We play in the 21st minute, and the Bordeaux fans start to sing. Driven by the public or particularly inspired, the Bordelaises overthrow the first time.

A touch right side between Félicité Hamidouche and Maéva Salomon, the ball returns in the feet of Hamidouche which centers in the surface. The ball is in the back of Juliette Loumagne but she moves quickly and manages to take the ball with a magnificent volley that ends under the bar of Romane Munich. An acrobatic recovery in imbalance, the perfect gesture and especially the only one that could allow the attacker Bordeaux to fold the ball towards the goal (21st).

A beautiful opener and that takes a team of Soyaux who has taken the (bad) habit of cash the first goals since the beginning of the season. But the game resumes and the domination of Soyaux eventually pay. In the 39th minute, Laura Bourgouin found the net. Well served by Pamela Babinga on a change of wing, Bourgouin manages to avoid the return of Emmanuelle Lacroix on a hook and then beat Elisa Launay on a left foot shot that ends in the right corner of Bordeaux nets.

Sarah Cambot puts it back
1-1 at the break, and after the break, the same scenario seems to be repeated. A dominance of Soyaux but ultimately few opportunities, and Bordeaux players looking for a counter or direct play to their attackers and especially Sarah Cambot. Bordeaux who will again find the flaw with the approach of the hour of play following a free kick of Soyaux. The ball is pushed back by Elisa Launay and is recovered by Margot Montegut. Then comes a counter with Juliette Loumagne and Sarah Cambot. The number 9 bordelaise served at the entrance of 16 meters by Loumagne and places a recovery that ends in the right corner of Romane Munich to give again the advantage in Bordeaux against the course of the game (58th).

At the hour of play, in the wake of the second goal Bordeaux, Nicolas Goursat decides to change his offensive animation, bringing Elodie Nakkach in place of Allison Blais (64). A change that has the effect of placing Laura Bourgouin center-forward while Pamela Babinga goes right and Anna Clérac left instead of Allison Blais. Finally, Elodie Nakkach evolves in the middle offensive position in the axis.

This reorganization will prove to be partly decisive with from the 67th minute, a new equalization of Laura Bourgouin. Initially a ball towards the front of Elodie Nakkach, Siga Tandia can not control the ball around the Bordeaux area, but Laura Bourgouin followed. Part in the back of his teammate and the Bordeaux defense she is the first on the ball and is ahead of the exit of Elisa Launay with a clever lob that ends in the net.

Bourgouin overturns Bordeaux
Just before the last quarter, Soyaux finally takes the lead in this match. A ball recovered in the middle by Siga Tandia who multiplied the interventions in the midfield during the whole meeting. The ball reaches Pamela Babinga right side as in the first half sees Laura Bourgouin unmarked at the entrance to the surface. Félicité Hamidouche tries to cut the center, but the ball reaches Laura Bourgouin at the 16 meters and comes forward again to score his third goal of the match (74th).

The end of the match elapses without any of the two teams having new opportunities, despite players from Bordeaux who tried until the end to return to the match. A quarter of an hour when the Girondines could not take a side of a team of Soyaux compact and attentive on the accelerations of the opponents.

With this victory 3-2, Soyaux wins his second win of the season, again against the promoted after the 2-1 win against Marseille. Above all, this success confirms the resources of this team, able to return situations during the meetings by relying on a Laura Bourgouin in great shape. With six goals since the start of the season, she has also been helped by a precious Pamela Babinga since arriving in the Charente.
