8 days after his counter-performance against the Nîmes red lantern, the ASJ Soyaux Charente raised their heads and in a good way with a clear victory over EA Guingamp 4-1. If the attack was out of inspiration lately, it proved realistic this Sunday in the image of its two points Laura Bourgouin and Anna Clérac authors each of a doubled.

"Here it is ... Soyaux" resumed by the speaker and the tribune of Léo Lagrange, here is an image that is good for the Sojaldiciennes just before the truce with this first win at home.

Intensity and duels
The meeting begins with a series of free kicks. First Soyaux with Lydia Belkacémi for the head of Siga Tandia, then the EAG with Clarisse Le Bihan for a cover of Lalia Dali-Storti. But for the moment these actions give nothing.

In this first half-hour intense, we say that it will be difficult for both teams to hold such a pace for 90 minutes. Both attacks are highlighted at each climb as if we played a tennis match. But even if Anna Clérac and Laura Bourgouin for Soyaux touch a lot of balloons, the defense of Guingamp does not let anything pass and it is the same face with a duel between Clarisse Le Bihan and Melissa Godart.

The stage wakes up then doubt
34th minute of play, a pass Cynthia Viana for Anna Clérac, she controls her ball between two defenses and she goes on with a volley shot lobe door Guingampaise then too advanced.

It is finally the rescue for Soyaux and it is deserved for this young player whose talent does not stop increasing.

We think then that the match is launched for Soyaux and we do not see how Guingamp could counter this team but it was not counting on the blow of the spell, this famous shot of the spell that can tip a match.

A climb from the EAG on the left followed by a cross in front of the goal, Amandine Guérin dives to catch the ball and then releases it and in its tracks, it hits its defender Mélissa Godart. The ball comes back in the feet of Melissa Plaza who had followed the action and it is the equalizer Guingampaise. Sarah M'Barek's players are coming back from a distance.

But Amandine Guerin will stay on the ground for a few minutes, she is sounded and it will take him 10 minutes to regain consciousness.

We are in the 45th minute of an intense first half and on a free kick by Salma Amani for the EAG, Amandine Guérin out of a tap that ball that was heading under the cross. Barely recovered from her shock, she saves her team on this stop and allows both clubs to return to the locker room with a good 1-1.

The fifteen minutes of madness
Just 5 minutes ago, the match resumed when Gwendoline Djebbar played Guingamp's defense, she came back into the net and back down to 6 meters, Emmeline Mainguy relaxed and pushed back the ball but Laura Bourgouin, alone, took over a nice strike and kicks off a quarter of an hour of madness.

56th minute, Laura Bourgouin elusive on the left of the attack sojaldicienne center back, Lydia Belkacémi can not seem to chained behind and it is Anna Clérac who appears to put, with a head, this ball under the bar c ' is the 3-1.

58th minute, following a Guingamp corner, Laura Bourgouin was forgotten in midfield, behind a defense of Guingamp climb far too high. Soyaux recovers the balloon and launches its missile. Laura Bourgouin controls her ball perfectly and she runs towards the goal of Emmeline Mainguy, she goes back half of the ground Guingampaise with the defense at her heels but it is with a gesture super calm that crucifies the EAG. This time the mass is said and this 4th goal buries the hopes of returning to the score for the Breton.

For a big match, you have to be two ... see three !!!
It is always said that you have to be two to play a big match and you have to thank Guingamp because at no time did this team close the game. Then Soyaux was able to find the resources to win. 8 days after the known disillusionment with Nîmes, it was necessary to react and Juan Paradès did it in particular by deciding to change its attack and leaving Allison Blais on the bench. There is also the tenure of Lydia Belkacémi who has released a performance worthy of the D1.

Finally, if you have to be two for a big match, you must also be three because no big match without a great referee and Aurélie Labadot Cadinot did not hesitate a moment to put cards during this meeting. She held the game from one end to the other which made the show even better and it had to be reported.
