On the occasion of the 9th day of D1, Paris FC won this afternoon on the lawn of the Robert-Bobin stadium against Soyaux. A 2-1 win for the players in the Paris region, and a flattering score for Sojaldiciennes often abused in this meeting.


Despite the change of name this summer on the occasion of the merger with Paris FC, the reception of Soyaux in the Essonne is part of the classics of the D1, with dozens of matches played between the two teams at the highest level of the championship of France. Present in the stands, Corinne Deacon, the tricolor coach, had the opportunity to play a few at the time she was playing at Soyaux.


Charlotte Bilbault holder for his return


For this meeting, another former Sojaldicienne was back in the field. Charlotte Bilbault, arrested several weeks after a concussion, found her place in the team of Paris FC, with a tenure in midfield, in front of the defense. The return of Charlotte Bilbault to the midfield went with a higher positioning of Inès Jaurena who sailed between her teammate and the offensive quartet.

The first half of the match was often one-sided, although Paris FC failed to open the scoring on the first forty-five minutes. From the second minute of play, Mathilde Bourdieu throws a volley at the entrance to the surface that passes flush with the right post. Over the minutes, the Parisian players regularly manage to find offsets on the sides and can then look for teammates demarcated in the box.

Some losses in the midfield for Soyaux are transformed into opportunities for Paris FC with Mathilde Bourdieu who does not hesitate to take his chance as on this shot to 16 meters deflected by Aurélie Rouge in the area, while she took the way of the goal. The ball comes crashing on the top of the crossbar before going out for a corner (21st).


Soyaux delays the deadline in the first half


On the Soyaux side, the few opportunities came on set-piece, with Elodie Nakkach looking twice for Siga Tandia on a free-kick. The Sojaldicienne captain who has twice managed to get rid of scoring but failed to fit his two past attempts close to the Paris region (24th and 33rd).

Soyaux seems close to asphyxiation, but seems to come out every time. In the 26th minute, Cassandre Moinet, who replaced Romane Munich in Charente goals, made a decisive save against Charlotte Bilbault on a corner, before grabbing the ball without a foot from Paris being able to send it to the back of the net. .

And when it's not the keeper of Soyaux, we find a defender Charente to prevent the opening of the score as on this shot by Ines Jaurena in the 34th minute, after a center of Julie Soyer left side. At the 43rd minute, Aurélie Rouge then Viviane Boudaud make new saves on the shots of Anaïg Butel and Charlotte Bilbault, following a Paris corner.

Actions among others for players in the Paris region, to which we can add this face-to-face between Mathilde Bourdieu and Cassandre Moinet in the 37th minute. Found in the right-sided depth, Bourdieu fails to fit his shot that passes to the left of the goal. So many opportunities without being able to score, an anomaly that the players of Paris FC will partly solve the return of the locker room.


The break after the locker room


A second period where Anissa Lahmari takes the place of Inès Jaurena in the middle, and in which, unsurprisingly, the first situations are favorable to the players of Pascal Gouzenes. From the start, Mathilde Bourdieu tried several times her luck, before Clara Matéo opened the score in the 56th minute. A goal scored on corner, struck by Gaëtane Thiney, and that Cassandre Moinet can not intercept in his six meters. The ball remains in play near the goal Sojaldicienne and Clara Matéo is on the lookout to score the first goal of the game.

An opening score that could have been followed in the wake of another goal by Clara Matéo, on a two-man action with Gaëtane Thiney, but on which Cassandre Moinet wins his duel with the attacker Ile. Little success in spite of this advantage to the score, the Paris FC makes the break on a loss of ball of the opposing defense. We play the 66th minute, and a pass between Elba Verges and Aurélie Rouge is intercepted by Mathilde Bourdieu who goes to the goal and this time does not give any chance to Cassandre Moinet.

Laura Bourgouin keeps Soyaux in touch


This advantage to the score, logical given the appearance of the match, could yet melt late in the game. In a second period where Soyaux showed a better face, we found in particular the connection Nakkach-Tandia, with a ball deep Elodie Nakkach for his captain whose volley does not go far from the goals of Karima Benameur (72).

Soyaux manages to remake some of his delay a few moments later through Laura Bourgouin. Served in the depth by Siga Tandia, Bourgouin manages to leave in the axis in the back of the defense to then adjust Karima Benameur (74th). A goal that could have changed the game in this match, but Soyaux finally manages to snatch an improbable draw away.

This meeting confirms, in a way, the position of Paris FC midway between the top three and teams like Bordeaux and Soyaux, beaten by teammates Gaëtane Thiney after having made a good start to the season. The Sojaldiciennes who will have the international truce to catch their breath before a new complicated appointment against Montpellier.


The post-match reactions:

Pascal Gouzenes (Paris FC, coach): "I wish we had taken shelter a little earlier"

Anaïs Dumont (Soyaux): "We did not live up to today"
