This afternoon, OL and Juvisy met for the second time in four days. Sunday at Parc OL, the Lyonnaises had five goals to two. This time, for this game late for the ninth day of D1, it is by the smallest gap (1-0) that the two teams separated, again to the advantage of Lyon.

This is the story of a match twice postponed and that finally took place this afternoon on the lawn of Robert Bobin stadium in Bondoufle. Initially postponed on February 1, this game was then set to 15, three days after the first meeting between the two teams, played Sunday on the occasion of the 14th day of the championship.

The lessons of OL Park
In the first meeting, seven goals were scored with a final score of 5-2 for Lyon. A lot of goals that weighed in the preparation of both teams, with the will to correct some of the defensive errors that we have seen in OL Park. Between the two games, it was Juvisy who made the most changes.

Absence of Estelle Cascarino, last minute injury, Sandrine Dusang, but also Karima Benameur who replaced Céline Deville ... All elements that have helped to see a team of Juvisy revamped with Anaïg Butel on the right and Charlotte Bilbault in central defense, while Inès Jaurena and Léa Declercq made up the midfielder behind the offensive quartet.

On OL side, Gerard Prêcheur made a single change with the appointment of Caroline Seger instead of Saki Kumagai in midfield. A similar composition and organization in 4-3-3 with Pauline Bremer in right wing and Amel Majri in left side.

On the pitch, what is clear from the start of the match is that both teams have "learned" from the first leg. As for Juvisy, the sides are locked to prevent Pauline Bremer and Amel Majri from being able to overflow or take advantage of offsets on the sides. More vigilance on the part of Juvisy and necessarily fewer opportunities for the OL forced to be patient against a well organized opponent team.

The "master" Lyon rewarded
In the first minutes, some alerts on set kick or when Marozsan manages to serve Ada Hegerberg in depth but each time, these are attempts that miss the frame or bump Karima Benameur. A mastery without a domination comparable to Sunday's game. Yet Lyon quickly manages to open the scoring.

Camille Abily scored the goal of Lyon head on a center from the right signed Jessica Houara. A crossed head that cheats Karima Benameur on his left. We play the 23rd minute and this goal is the sign of a certain efficiency Lyon side, having finally had few real opportunities in this first half hour.

The first period ends at the same pace with a team from OL who continues to control the game but must be content with kicks set to bring the danger in the surface of Juvisy with each time Karima Benameur on parade . However, the players of Lyon do not play in slow motion. We regularly see the players of Gerard Prêcheur propose, make available to permute the midfielder to the image of Dzsenifer Marozsan and Eugenie Le Sommer who drop or have made calls in depth in turn on the left side.

But the memory of the match of Sunday makes that there were perhaps no more possible surprises on this meeting. For Juvisy, it also meant less chance of finding the net. At Parc OL, Juv 'was the first team to score two goals at OL this season in D1. A performance they could not repeat this afternoon. Returning from the locker room, Léa Declercq strikes twice, attempts in the first five minutes but which go over the goals of Sarah Bouhaddi who did not have a single stop to make the game.

Juvisy clings, Benameur parade
On the contrary, Karima Benameur has for its part repelled the few strikes framed among the many Lyon attempts in the second half. This is particularly the case on Pauline Bremer's head in the 54th minute that Juvisy's goalkeeper manages to push back in front of her line. Same fate for this center-shot Griedge Mbock in the 75th minute following a corner. A minute later it is Marozsan who sees Benameur stop his shot from the sixteen meters. And when she can no longer intervene, the guardian of the Juv 'is supplemented by these amounts in the 83rd minute on the lob Hegerberg who stumbles on the right post close to the skylight.

Claire Lavogez entering late in the game will not be more successful in a second period where Juvisy could only hang on to this result of 1-0 without really having opportunities to worry OL. In stoppage time, players Emmanuel Beauchet have launched their last forces to try to doubt an OL finally in range until the end. But the intentions could not be followed effects, a last shot far from Lea Declercq (92), closer than the previous goals of Sarah Bouhaddi but still far from the account to reverse the trend.

Continue to befriend the best
Should he ask Juvisy more? Despite the difficulties of the team this year, the Ile-de-France team remains among those that we think can disturb OL on a match. An impression reinforced by the draw of the club of Essonne against Montpellier in early February. This may explain the resilience of Juvisy this afternoon, a team capable of raising his level of play against the best until we find a regularity in its performance.

For OL, this double-confrontation should make it possible to better prepare the match to come against Montpellier, in ten days, after the eighth-finals of Coupe de France. A meeting where OL will again find ways to force the decision, in a match that looks like a new turning point in the title race.
