At the Stadium, Lille received their southern opponents, the Marseillaises for the 6th day of D1 Feminine. A North / South shock that would give sparks throughout this meeting, which will eventually end in a draw, one everywhere.
Marseille has the experience
The debates will rock on one side then the other of the field from the beginning of the meeting. Lille do not want to let Marseille play, but the club has more ease to build his game. The season spent in D1, and after finishing 4th in the standings is undoubtedly a great asset against a promoted. Even if we saw that it was not necessarily a pledge of victory. As against Bordeaux, that Lille beat 3-0 in opening of their season.
And Lille already has an opportunity to open the scoring in the 6th minute of play, on this great opportunity. A right-wing center picked by Ouleye Sarr, who shifts to Rachel Saidi but his shot low to the ground is not framed. The lack of madness for the LOSC unlike Marseille, which has a little more percussion in his game will be a disabling point in this meeting for the club north. We feel the experience of Marseille on his second year in the elite, although it is sometimes difficult to combine.
The LOSC will yet be dangerous, as on this long free kick Dafeur (24th), deflected by Saidi at the far post for Sarr, but she can not manage to take the head, too high and comes out in six meters. Marseille react quickly with this big free-kick attempt, which is later taken over at the back post, but it came out in extremis by Azem (27th) on his skylight.
The clud North meets with the Belgian Jana Coryn (34th) launched alone and is found in engagement with two defenders, forcing the keeper of Marseille to come out of his line, to cut the ball in his feet. She manages to lob it just, with agility, but it's out of the box.
Ouleye Sarr is going to have two chances shot after time. In the 36th minute, she recovers a long ball on the left side and runs alone to the door of the OM. She decides to hit by opening the foot to give a rolled effect to his ball, but the door manages to push the left hand for a corner. Then in the 39th minute, on a strike full axis in front of the defense of Marseille and which could have surprised Richard, but with dexterity she recovers the ball in two stages.
A force to wait and push, Marseille opens the scoring on a goal from Fanndis Fridriksdottir (41) who manages to take over the defense of Lille left side and the left deceive Azem 0-1! The Icelandic (45th) will retry quickly on this opportunity, left lane, it enters slightly full axis to try a big shot that ends his race on the cross.
Jana Coryn gives Lille a tie
After the break, Marseille must capitalize his lead to score and double the stake, or see Lille come back and who must imperatively get home for his part. But it is Marseille who resumes hostilities with Fanndis Fridriksdottir (51) who is off to Dali full axis, but his shot is not worked enough to worry more than that Azem.
The French international, Ouleye Sarr (58th) will repeatedly want to make the difference, as with this attempt to put in the box for Saidi, but it is rejected by Gadea. On the other side of the field the door of Lille will be put to the test, after replacing Elisa Launay in the cages for this match. Like this perfect intervention in the 59th minute, on this attempt to lobe Alidou. Azem intervenes with all his body and annihilates the strike.
At the hour of the game, Descamps decided to get Saidi out and bring Davy in instead to bring a more offensive and less technical side to his environment. A few minutes from the final whistle, the latest actions are of crucial importance. The LOSC will work on it tirelessly. Like this new attempt of Lille women who go to several attack. Ouleye Sarr (71) sends the ball low to the ground for Davy, but Kelly Gadea manages to catch the ball on his shot at the penalty box. A saving sacrifice and that will allow his team to believe a little bit still to victory.
Marseille will miss even an opportunity to double the stake on this hit Alidou (72). The Marseille striker opens her foot too much on his attempt and the ball shaves the second post. A small failure that will be expensive, since Lille will manage to return to the score. On a good job right lane, Mansuy and Dufour combine and it puts the ball in the box. He will be deflected by Ouleye Sarr at first, before Jana Coryn (77th) takes the first post to send it to the bottom 1-1.
The double was not far for Coryn (79) on his opportunity, but his shot is narrowly deflected by Richard. And to take the advantage either on this center of Sarr (88th) which is once again well followed by Gadea, to annihilate this goal attempt. The two teams finally leave back to back, in a match that alternated between strong and less dynamic times. The international truce is timely for both teams, who will be able to make their own judgment on their start of the season.
