Guingamp scored a convincing and convincing victory (1-3) in the field of Paris FC despite a tense end tainted with a controversial goal that probably should have been refused. A success that the Bretons owe in particular to a very good part of Solène Durand in the goals of the Forward.


At the beginning of the year 2018, Paris FC seems in a difficult period. Eliminated in the Coupe de France, the club Ile de France has little to play in the league, far from Europe and almost assured of maintenance. A situation in-between that perhaps illuminates the performance of Parisian women in recent weeks, looking for a first victory in 2018, with points especially lost in Lille and Rodez.

Two teams concerned by the race to maintain, as Guingamp who was moving on the lawn of Paris FC, and the edge of the relegation zone before this game. In the first leg, the players of Sarah M'Barek went to look for an improbable draw (2-2) with two goals in stoppage time, enough to give ideas before this trip to Essonne.

First for Camille Pecharman


On the lawn of the Robert-Bobin stadium, Pascal Gouzenes had again aligned a defense to three, Aissatou Tounkara, Annaïg Butel and Estelle Cascarino, while on the sides, Elisa De Almeida occupied the right lane, Camille Catala left. In goals, it was a first for Camille Pecharman, tenured for the first time since joining the club this winter. A device in 3-5-2, with Anissa Lahmari associated with Mathilde Bourdieu in attack. Two players found on the first Paris action with a recovery of Bourdieu in the area that passes over a center behind Lahmari (3rd).

New center of Anissa Lahmari in the 11th minute, this time for a head of Camille Catala missing the frame. Paris FC is gradually taking control of the match with opportunities that multiply, including the deep ball Gaëtane Thiney Anissa Lahmari, outpaced in the surface by the exit of Solène Durand. A minute later, the Guingampaise goalkeeper is again asked for a shot by Camille Catala at the conclusion of a quick attack from Paris FC (21st).


Tac-tac-tac


A danger that gets closer and finally Guingamp who finally give in the 24th minute. A new deep ball for Lahmari full axis. Faster than the defense, she stands alone against Solène Durand and places a shot that deceives the goalkeeper on his right. An opening of the logical score, but to which the players of Sarah M'Barek will respond quickly.

In the Paris camp, the pressing of the Guingampaise attackers are bearing fruit, including Faustine Robert came lend a hand to interfere with the Paris raises near the surface. A stronger presence in the opposing side, who helped Guingamp up to the 27th minute, with Desire Oparanozie served in the right-sided surface and managed to place a powerful shot from the right which is lodged under the crossbar very close to the left window.

A quick reply that may have allowed Guingamp to hang on until the break despite the set pieces of kicks that follow Solene Durand's goals. The goalkeeper who made two new crucial interventions before the break, each time against Gaëtane Thiney.

The first in the 34th minute, following a center of Elisa de Almeida and on which the recovery of the goalkeeper is diverted for a corner. In the 42nd minute, a good collective movement in the axis ends with a ball for Thiney in the back of the defense, but the exit of Solène Durand prevents the Parisians to regain the advantage.


Adélie Fourré, first goal in D1 decisive


These missed opportunities allowed Guingamp to stay in the match before they managed to take the lead in the second half. An advantage acquired in the 59th minute, by Adélie Fourré entered the break in place of Agathe Ollivier. She scored here her first goal in D1 after a left side action of a touch then a combination between Desire Oparanozie and Faustine Robert. This last center in the surface and Adélie Fourré comes to place his head at the second post.

Guingamp took the lead in the match as Paris FC dropped by a second-half tone, or at least failed to put the same pressure on Solène Durand. But in the last half hour, the goalkeeper of the En Avant will have to work to preserve this advantage to the score.

In the 65th minute, we are close to the equalizer on a free kick at 20/25 meters from the Breton goal. Thiney sees his first strike countered by a teammate. The ball returned to his feet and on his second attempt, the leather takes the net but Solène Durand manages to deflect on the cross before the ball comes out for a corner. Three minutes later, it is Julie Debever who deflects in corner a new shot squared of the Paris captain.

A controversy that does not question the Guingampaise victory


Paris is not back, and Adélie Fourré was close to put the team in the Parisian K.O in the 84th minute. On a center Desire Oparanozie, the young Guingampaise comes back to the ball post, but this time it is rejected by Camille Pecharman. A few minutes later, Guingamp manages to break on an action where the goal should probably have been refused.

While Paris FC had a free-kick in midfield, the ball went up by the Parisiennes to the place of the fault. The ball is then intercepted by Desire Oparanozie, who sees that the referee lets play, tries his luck of 40 meters and lobe Camille Pecharman who was advanced (88th). The ball ends in the net and the referee validates the goal considering that the free kick was indeed played by Parisiennes. Furious, Pascal Gouzènes enters the field and directly calls the referee, which will be worth to be expelled for the last minutes of the meeting.

With this fact of play, the last hopes of Paris FC to return in this game fly away and the club of the capital goes on a fifth game without a victory in the league. A series that weakens a little more Franciliennes, now closer to the bottom of the table than the top trio of the D1. Conversely, these three points are good for Guingamp who makes sure to spend the long international break out of the relegation zone in which the Breton club had sadly finished the year 2017.


The post-match reactions:

Pascal Gouzenes (Paris FC, coach): "We paid cash the small mistakes we made"

Solène Durand (EAG): "I know we are on track to maintain. "

Adélie Fourré (EAG): "Joy for everyone"

Sarah M'Barek (EAG, coach): "Three very precious points, it will allow us to breathe a little"
