Paris FC have won for the second time in two games, after a match where the Olympians opened the scoring on the lawn of the Robert-Bobin stadium before the Parisiennes did turn the tide.


It was a first test for Paris FC, and a reunion with Olympique de Marseille, the team that had finished in front of Juvisy in the standings last season, leaving the Ile-de-France club in the top 4 of the D1. Now under the label of Paris FC, the players of Pascal Gouzenes continue to evolve on the side of Bondoufle and keep the memory of this difficult season. A symbolic way to turn the page against an Olympian team still under construction at the beginning of the season.


OM in progress


A building for Christophe Parra who has integrated into his starting lineup, his last two recruits, Marie-Yasmine Alidou d'Anjou and Fanndis Fridriksdottir whose arrivals were formalized earlier this week. Two players lined up in attack, Alidou of Anjou in point, and Fridriksdottir on the left side, an offensive trident completed by Viviane Asseyi.


Marseille found a 4-3-3 regularly used last season with many new faces, like Jamila Hamidou, a young 16-year-old who knew her second tenure in midfield, or recruits Hawa Cissoko and Cristina Ferral, not to mention Genevieve Richard in goal and arrival of Japan this summer.


This impression of team still under construction was felt on this match even if Olympique de Marseille manages to open the score in this match, thanks to one of its recruits in Quebec Marie-Yasmine Alidou of Anjou. On a counter Marseille, Viviane Asseyi inherits the ball on the right side and can serve in the axis his teammate who arrives launched towards the surface. First on the ball, Marie-Yasmine Alidou d'Anjou then won her face-off with Céline Deville in the area and scored her first goal in D1 (14th).


Paris FC has been patient


An opening Marseille score while it was Paris FC that seemed the best team entered the game. Better control and territorial dominance but few real opportunities early in the game, except this non-framed recovery of Camille Catala (5th) in the area early in the game.


In the offensive sector of Paris FC, Pascal Gouzenes made two changes compared to the starting lineup against Fleury, with the tenures of Léa Declercq and Mathilde Bourdieu. For her second match in D1, again against OM, Mathilde Bourdieu signed a good performance, gaining confidence as the match. Powerful player and extremely fast, it takes the first time over Kelly Gadea (25th) but on his center, Inès Jaurena can not properly resume the ball.


Two minutes later, Paris FC equalized by Gaëtane Thiney, served in the depth by Charlotte Bilbault, she then deceives Geneviève Richard, who touches the ball but can not prevent him from crossing the line of his goal (27th). An action on which the Marseille team was reorganizing defensively, with a denser midfielder, a moment of flutter which benefited perfectly the players of Paris FC.Inès Jaurena, a decisive surplus


In the last quarter-hour of the first act, Kelly Gadea had an opportunity to give the advantage to OM on corner, but his two occasions are successively blocked and finally passes very close to the left post of Céline Deville before flee the frame (39th). But in this match, the ascendancy now seems to be on the side of Paris FC.


A trend confirmed at the return of the locker room with a second goal quickly after the kickoff. On the right side, Mathilde Bourdieu accelerates ball to the foot, and then serves Gaëtane Thiney near the surface. Surrounded by several defensemen in the Olympian surface, the Paris captain still manages to put the ball in the axis where Inès Jaurena comes in support and sends the ball to the bottom of the net (49th).


A second goal for Inès Jaurena this season that illustrates her role in the midfield behind the offensive quartet. She comes regularly bring the surplus in the axis and especially in the surface, which makes it one of the players who cover the most ground, with the defensive tasks that they assume alongside Charlotte Bilbault.


Uncertainty until the end


This advantage to score, the Paris FC will manage to keep but without amplifying despite better control than their opponents of the day. Never really safe, the Parisians could have missed his opportunities for Gaëtane Thiney (75th) and Camille Catala (84th), both close to add a third goal.


Because at the same time, Céline Deville has been put to the test twice. First by Fanndis Fridriksdottir on a shot to 20 meters (73) that the goalkeeper of Paris FC distracts difficult corner. Then on a ball won by Viviane Asseyi on the edge of the area, and who sees his shot pushed by Deville out of his goals (89th).


A last thrill for a team that makes its second success in as many games, a good start before the international break, and a trip in two weeks on the lawn of Olympique Lyonnais.


The post-match reactions:

=> Christophe Parra (OM, coach): "The second goal remains a bit across the throat"

=> Inès Jaurena (Paris FC): "As long as it's going well, we enjoy it"

=> Pascal Gouzenes (Paris FC, coach): "I remember the mood of the group that has not let go"
