The eighth day was finally good for Fleury who takes his first points in D1 after his victory this afternoon against Olympique Marseille. A time led after the opener of the Olympian, the players of Essonne were able to cause the success that had often been lacking since the beginning of the season.


It was a stakes game from an accounting point of view but also in the heads, between two teams that had not won this season and especially for Fleury, in pursuit of his first point when receiving Marseille on the lawn of Auguste Gentelet.

Fleury: Getting out of the game


A team from Fleury that gives the impression of having now gained some stability in his starting lineup, despite the absence of Gwenaëlle Butel in the right lane, replaced for this game by Charlotte Bruère. A phase of construction that has seemed to drag on since the beginning of the season and that has partly weighed on the performance of the team.

A collective whose players claim this desire to "play ball", although so far the intentions could not turn into results and especially in points. Faced with Marseille, Fleury did not abandon this desire to take the initiative and seek to shake his opponents by the game.


=> Teninsoun Sissoko (Fleury): "We are a team that likes to play ball"


In the first minutes of play, it is Sarah Palacin who is often sought right side, with regular long balls that are addressed to him by midfielders including Daphne Corboz. A willingness to use the sides that translates to a first opportunity (9th) when Sarah Palacin manages to play Amandine Soulard and then place a shot eventually pushed by Geneviève Richard on his line.


Marseille effective early in the game ...


Despite these intentions, it is Marseille who manages to open the score near the quarter of an hour of play. Viviane Asseyi is served in the box against the goal and can then shift for Cindy Caputo on his left and who finds the the net on a strong shot that slips between Maryne Gignoux and the right post of Fleury (14th).

Maximum efficiency for the Olympians who manage to open the score on one of their first good collective movements. This opening Marseille score came in a first period where the initiatives of Fleury were rarely completed by a shot on goal and when that was the case, they did not find the way to the frame. Actions that are regularly spent on the sides with Sarah Palacin, Charlotte Fernandes or Marine Coudon during these climbs in the left lane.

At the break, Fleury returned to the locker room without really being able to destabilize the defense Marseille. The second half then begins in a pouring rain, a downpour that was the disruptive element of the first quarter of an hour without real opportunities on both sides. But on the hour, Fleury manages to come back in the game and equalize. In the box, Salma Amani places a shot that is unintentionally deflected by Marseille's right side, Tess Laplacette. The trajectory of the ball then deceives Geneviève Richard who must bow to this action (60th).


... Fleury provokes success at the return of the locker room


Fleury manages finally to cause the success while the built actions do not manage to go to the end, in the image of this center of Sarah Palacin right side for Salma Amani in the surface but who can not then continue the strike after his control of chest (65th). Marseille is, however, in danger on almost every action. Geneviève Richard releases a ball that turns into a corner on a seemingly innocuous shot by Julie Rabanne (67).

Tess Laplacette then needed a very good return to counter the strike from Danaé Dunord, who came into play a few moments earlier for Fleury, and close to finding the way to the goal on this action (69th). A rescue that, unfortunately for the OM, does not extend the deadline of a few seconds. On the corner, Daphné Corboz sends the ball directly to the Marseille goal and Geneviève Richard can not catch the ball that takes the path of the Olympian nets (70th).OM will not be able to catch up


Twenty minutes left to play, and that will not be enough to OM to return to the score. Opportunities, Marseille will have but there will often be a decisive intervention to prevent the teammates of Caroline Pizzala to return to height. The Olympian captain serves Anaïs M'Bassidje on free-kick whose head passes flush with the right post, while Maryne Gignoux missed his exit by attempting to grab the ball in its surface (78th).

It was then Teninsoun Sissoko who made a decisive return to stop a Marseille counter, and a center of Viviane Asseyi who could turn into decisive pass (82). At the end of the match, Maryne Gignoux and former Olympian Leonie Multari intervene after a very good center left wing Cindy Caputo, picked up by Fanndis Fridriksdottir. The Icelandic striker's shot is pushed back in front of the line but none of the Marseille players in the box can then send the ball into the nets of Fleury (89th).

The final whistle sounds like a deliverance for Fleury players who have celebrated this victory with their supporters, and these first three points that they had missed so far, even if they remain in the red zone for the moment. in front of the OM.

For Marseille, it is a new blow for a team that has not managed to win since the beginning of the season, but has also already dropped 11 points after opening the scoring (three defeats and a draw, no win) , a difficulty to hold the results which partly explains the current twelfth place of OM, today at the bottom of the D1.
