At the end of a very contested meeting, OL won 2-0 against Juvisy and confirms its status as leader. If we are far from the perfect match for the players of Gérard Prêcheur, the Juvisiennes sign probably their best performance since the beginning of the season. A victory forceps in the 2nd period, which will lead as a wind of regret on the side of Essonne.

During the first period, Lyon short-winded who knows big problems in the construction of the game and concedes opportunities in a very unusual way.
Like the indirect free kick hit by Gaëtane Thiney and saved on the line by Saki Kumagai, in central defensive position. Except that this is not the position she occupies in the 11 of departure ... To overcome the absence of Wendie Renard, it is Amandine Henry and Griedge M'Bock who compose the axial defensive hinge, the Japanese is as for her just a step above, sentinel. A strategic positioning that will show very quickly its limits, offering in passing some cold sweats on the bench Lyonnais.
The winning bet is that of Emmanuel Beauchet, the coach of Juvisy, who asked his 11 to play very high to disrupt the offensive construction and make dizzy to an opponent far too academic and not really inspired.
At half-time, the score is still 0-0, but can the Parisians really take another 45 minutes of intense defensive efforts and play against the right time? Not sure…

In the second half, it is the Lyonnaises who master the game and win with two great goals, on set kick, signed Camille Abily (58 ') and Corine Petit (64).
No doubt that the entry of Elodie Thomis has done a lot of good to a team that had planned everything, except the return of the Jusivy of yesteryear. You know this small team from a very small town of 91 that has long been the terror of a family D1 championship. If it was very present during the good shots in the first period, we deplore once again, that the bleeding starts at Juv 'when Gaëtane Thiney, the captain, is a little more discreet ...
This non-whistled penalty, after a foul by Meline Gerard on Tatiana Coleman, would have had the appearance of a well-deserved reward, as Charlotte Bilbault and her teammates gave themselves on the pitch. Special mention to Karima Benameur who offers a dose of serenity added to his defense and that we hope, like Laëtitia Philippe (MHSC) to see a day as a holder in the Blue.

8th success in 8 days, for the Lyonnaises who remain comfortably installed in the 1st place, without having conceded a single goal, 2 lengths of Montpellier. As against Montpellier, it is the lack of realism that penalizes the performance of Juvisy.

Final score: 2-0 (0-0)
Lyonnaise strikers: Camille Abily (58 '), Corine Petit (64')
Yellow card: Inès Jaurena
