This Sunday, December 13 took place the return match between Juvisy and Saint-Etienne, counting for the 12th day of the championship, at Robert Bobin stadium in Bondoufle. Decryption of this meeting after a draw in the first leg, 2-2.

After their heavy defeat against PSG (5-0) on Sunday, December 6, the women wanted to bounce back, and they held the course in the second half to win this short but important victory.

The balance has tilted as soon as the very physical entry of Juvisy to assert his position in this match at home against Saint-Etienne. Hervé Didier's team is not allowed to play or take a break. Palacin, the offensive weapon of the ASSE, will be a capital contribution for his team and will create doubt in the first period!

As the match draws with a certain balance between the two teams, Juvisy captain Gaëtane Thiney will take charge of a corner kick that will end in the bottom of Pauline Peyraud-Magnin's goal in the 21st minute of play ( 1-0)!

The reaction will not delay on the side of Saint-Etienne through the usual agility of Sarah Palacin who does a huge job on the equalizer to pass Tounkara a hook and a feint on the new holder of the goal Juvis Dina Jeanjean (following an ankle injury while training on the side of Benameur) before sending the ball to his goal (1-1)!

The actions are linked to the side of Juvisy without succeeding in realizing their opportunities. On the other hand, Rose Lavaud (Internationale B) makes an effective technical match for her team, which causes a lot of problems for Juvisy.

At 5 minutes from the end of the first period, ASSE keeps pace and tries to turn the game in his favor but Juvisy takes the hand instinctively.

The first half therefore ends on a score of one between the two teams. The second period promises to be raised, especially on the side of Juvisy who does not want to repeat the draw.

The players show a lot of abnegations on both sides of the field, but they are looking a little more on the side of the ASSE.

There are two totally different game strategies between the two teams:

- ASSE: call, against call, midfield => offside

- Juvisy: interval, center, axis of the field to play on the side => collide with the defensive block of the stéphanoises

The surprise surprise haze of the match will reach the field in the second half to reduce our visibility and that of the players.

Thiney puts the second gear for his second-half playoff squad. The number 17 Juvisy will be the key element and the legitimate leader of his team that she will lead to 2-1 following his center for Kadidiatou Diani in the 47th minute.

The two players compose together to regain the advantage for their club: Thiney center, Diani circled, lengthens the foot to take short the Etienne defense just 1 meter from their goal!

Saint-Etienne entrenched then and irremediably in his defense to stop other attacks that could cost them another goal, feeling the pressure of the Juvisiennes!

Juvisy increased his concentration in the second half while ASSE tried to come back with a slight lack of group cohesion, because of the second goal quickly scored.

ASSE begins to suffer the increasingly intense attacks of Juvisy, who has regained his confidence after the goal of Diani on a very nice commitment Thiney. And the frustration begins to win the Stéphanoises.

Juvisy has undoubtedly corrected the shot of the first leg with this victory 2 to 1 against Saint-Etienne.

The Ile-de-France club managed to analyze ASSE during the break, before the restart of the match to take the advantage in the score, on a decisive work of Thiney from the beginning of the second period.

The steganese caught off course have lost their means by struggling to build their game, losing the draw, they had yet obtained and maintained in the first period.

The women's laundry has canceled the few attempts of the players of Saint-Etienne, who lacked precision to allow the equalization of the side of the star player of the ASSE, Sarah Palacin.
He certainly missed a shoulder in Palacin to help him in his two-man building to make the action and get the upper hand on the game.

Juvisy will have to confirm this victory against La Roche next Sunday before the truce. While Saint-Etienne will have to find the way of the victory against a tough team of Rodez.

The reaction of Emmanuel Beauchet (Juvisy coach) for Coeur de foot:

"We had to digest the game last Saturday which was not an obvious thing, we used this week to work, to explain things, and today's match was not easy in this sense. there because psychologically you had to be able to react, to show a little character of revolt, I think it was done especially in the second half. "

"It's always difficult for a group to deal with this kind of disappointment, so it takes a lot of discussion, a lot of exchanges to sort things out and get better, so it's never easy, because it's there where we see the real personalities, that's where we see the positive reaction of each other and it also makes the success of a group. "

[What do you think of Dina's performance?] "Dina put herself perfectly in her match, she was flawless tonight."

[Could you have expected better at this stage of the championship?] "We are here to work, to progress to be in a progression, maintain a quality of work, a state of mind that we must find the week and Sunday with a group that is rebuilding, so it's up to us to work well the week, to move forward, to take match after match, I think there has been a good progress, a good progression over the 4 months in terms of content , at the level of the game. We are not always rewarded, we lack of efficiency in front of, we have trouble to score, but it's not for lack of work, it's not for lack of effort, so we know it it penalizes us but we must always stay in this perspective, this state of mind, this quality of work.Works very well the week, so we'll see where it takes us.

The analysis of Hervé Didier (Coach ASSE) for Hearts of football:

"We have regrets because it is true that especially on the first half 1 everywhere, we should have led in the first half, it's obvious because we had a very good period. we take (note: corner re-entering Thiney) it's a goal cap and unfortunately it scorches us a little after the game when we make a mistake like that against Juvisy it does not forgive ... It's better to do not take a goal because it's hard to come back in. In the second half, it's been a bad start and it's almost one of the few Juvisy chances that keep us from We are disappointed because we were equal with this team, we sometimes played well, on the other we mismanaged our weak times but we made a good performance in the content but the result is not there. "

"I think we could do something today, sincerely, outside it's more difficult but today it had the means to make a draw at least against Juvisy, I think, because we showed in the first half that we had a team that knew how to play ball and unfortunately we had small delicate moments that we manage badly and against teams like Juvisy, it does not forgive.
