In pursuit of her first points, Fleury lost at home against Bordeaux (0-1). A setback on the smallest margins after a match where both teams were neutralized in the first period before Bordeaux makes the difference after the break thanks to Carol Rodrigues.


Bordeaux goes on a second success after Albi, and makes forget the "false start" in the North against LOSC. Three points won away in a match where Fleury has a time match with the Girondines. In any case, it is the impression left by the first period.


The "battle" of the midfielder


On her lawn at the Auguste Gentelet stadium, Fleury could count on the reinforcement of Teninsoun Sissoko, who arrived this summer from Forez and who had not yet been able to play a minute because of an injury. While waiting for the return of Salma Amani, who was serving her last match of suspension today, Teninsoun Sissoko came to bring serenity in the axis of the defense, in its interventions and its first raises.


Associated with Léonie Multari in the axis, Sissoko has regularly been at the duel with Carol Rodrigues, aligned in tip and which knew at times, to poison the defense of Fleury. At the beginning of the match, however, most of the debates are concentrated in midfield despite first attempts framed on both sides in the first quarter of an hour. Far-off shots that do not worry Maryne Gignoux or Erin Nayler, the two watchmen on their respective lines.


The two teams are neutralizing each other, with similar tactical devices and two teams getting shot for a shot. A game played, chopped, with a lot of mistakes and first cards distributed by the referee. A physiognomy that extends until the half-hour of the game, before seeing Fleury make several good moves that are close to reaching a first goal.


Fleury close to the goal


At the 34th minute, a good move from the back can not succeed, the last pass from Julie Rabanne finding Sarah Palacin in offside position in the Girondine area. A few minutes later, the flag remains down and it is Erin Nayler who must go out in the feet of Charlotte Fernandes to prevent it from striking the goal after a one-two with Sarah Palacin (42).


The game is on the side of Fleury at the end of the first period, a sign that the players of Essonne have managed to take a small ascendant. A situation that brings Jerome Dauba to reorganize his midfield at the break. Juliane Gathrat, positioned in front of the defense, now evolves higher, at the level of the attackers, where Solène Barbance evolved in the first period. Barbance goes down a notch and therefore evolves in front of the defense.


Associated with Ghoutia Karchouni, Juliane Gathrat will allow Bordeaux to press Fleury higher, and to recover a greater number of ball in the opposite camp, with this midfielder "overthrown". The effects of this tactical change, however, took some time to feel. Sarah Palacin is also the first to highlight, and embarrassed by the exit of Erin Nayler, she can not find the way to the nets Bordeaux (49th).


The other face of Bordeaux


But gradually, Bordeaux takes over and the danger is close to the goal of Maryne Gignoux. At the hour of play, Carol Rodrigues recovers a ball left side near the surface of Fleury. She then manages to center back to Rose Lavaud who sees his recovery hit the crossbar before going out (60). In the moments that follow, new cover of Nadjma Ali Nadjim (61st) captured this time by Maryne Gignoux on her line.


The minutes that follow are at the advantage of Bordeaux and twenty minutes from the end, Jerome Dauba still chooses to press the accelerator with the entry of Sarah Cambot instead of Ghoutia Karchouni (71). The Girondines insist and a few moments later, Carol Rodrigues finally find the net. An action launched right side, concluded by a center of Rose Lavaud who finds the head of Carol Rodrigues within six meters of Fleury. The Brazilian center forward puts his ball flush with the left post and unlocks the score in favor of Bordeaux.

Rose Lavaud author of the center on this goal was one of the symbols of this second period of Bordeaux. Very prominent, she has multiplied the races in her hallway, to overflow right side and make herself available on the Girondins game reversals that have repeatedly failed Fleury defense.


Fleury could not react


Ten minutes from the end, Bordeaux could have amplified its advantage by Delphine Chatelin, came into play a few minutes earlier in place of Rose Lavaud. Found in the box in the back of the defense, Delphine Chatelin bites her ball to avoid the exit of Maryne Gignoux. A wise choice but the ball stumbles on the bar before bouncing in front of the line (81). On the other side of the field, her namesake, Céline Chatelain misses the frame on the corner of the head (83rd), the last opportunity for Fleury, who will have folded in the second half.


With this second success in three games, Bordeaux is back in the standings, while Fleury will have to wait before gleaning his first points this season in D1.


The post-match reactions:


Marine Coudon (Fleury): "The defeat is a little hard"

Nicolas Carric (Fleury, coach): "We missed a little madness before"

Rose Lavaud (Bordeaux): "We knew it would be hard and it was."

Jérôme Dauba (Bordeaux, coach): "I hope we finally found our cruising pace. "
