What better than a Languedoc derby to finish in style this 1st day of D1 female? Despite an iron will, the Nîmes Métropole failed to resist Montpellier Hérault Sport Club.

Serial goalies at the service of the collective
If at the end of last season, Sofia Jakobsson had made a big impression, this year, it seems that she found her second in the person of Valerie Gauvin. With the help of a Marie-Charlotte Léger very legged, they will literally fire in the defense Nîmes. No doubt Delphine Saez will not keep a good memory of this meeting against what could be the new best attack of the championship. However, the keeper crocos will perform a very nice performance!

If during the first 10 minutes, the midfielder of Nimes will cause some problems, thanks to a very physical game, the 11th minute Valerie Gauvin opens the scoring after a scramble in front of goals. The minutes will then scroll and the goals for the paillade will be chained!

 

For her first match under the colors of Montpellier, Andressa Alves scored a goal which only the Brazilian have the secret. In the stadium mostly composed of Nîmes fans, voices resonate ... As well say, arbitration somewhat fanciful to arouse reactions in the stadium.

At the end of the match, Marie-Charlotte Léger scored twice and sent her team to the top of the rankings with Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain. Nimes will be given to the end to curb those who have the ambition to win back a place on the podium this season.

Final score: 0 - 7
Bumper MHSC: Gauvin x3, Jakobsson, Alves, Light x2
