OL are in for the shock of the 2nd day of D1 Arkéma. At the end of a very indecisive match, Sonia Bompastor’s players, more efficient, managed to win at the Parc des Princes, once morest PSG (0-1). An advantage acquired in the first period thanks to the inevitable Eugénie Le Sommer. The Lyonnaises are thus ideally starting their championship with a second victory in two matches. They find themselves in 2nd place with 6 points, only ahead of Paris FC on goal difference. PSG is three lengths behind.
Everything finally decided in the 20th minute. Three minutes following Bacha hit the bar (17th). And right in the heart of a first period rather to the advantage of the Parisiennes. On a distant, almost harmless free kick, the Lyonnaises managed to open the scoring. A header from Egurrola allowed Le Sommer, a launched finish, to send a missile under Picaud’s arm (0-1, 20th). A perfectly executed combination that made all the difference.
Endler and Picaud shone
Enough to leave some regrets for Jocelyn Précheur’s players who were able to compete with the reigning French champions. Well led by new recruit Tabitha Chawinga, very lively in the first act, they had many opportunities. But opposite, goalkeeper Christiane Endler pulled out all the stops, with 7 saves. Including several high class ones. Like those once morest Geyoro (24th and 33rd).
The Lyonnaises owe him a lot. Even if, also thanks to high-quality substitutes, they were able to contain the attacks of PSG much better, who had a drop in physical strength towards the end of the match. OL might have taken advantage of this to take cover. But Parisian goalkeeper Constance Picaud also stood out with 5 saves to her credit. She saved her family from suffering a more severe setback which would not necessarily have been deserved.
