Tension is at its height this Sunday between OL and PSG, who are vying for the title of champion of France. On a tackle in the first period of this poster of the women’s first division, Kadeisha Buchanan tackled Sandy Baltimore … who broke her coach Olivier Echouafni in her fall.
A week after the coronation of LOSC in Ligue 1, the women’s first division has yet to deliver its verdict. OL receives PSG for a “final”, which can see the Parisian team win the first title in its history. And from the first minutes of the game, the engagement was tough, with a rather improbable action in the 18th.
Canadian Kadeisha Buchanan pulled out all the stops to tackle Sandy Baltimore along the sideline. The OL player mowed down the PSG midfielder who, in her glide, brought down her coach Olivier Echouafni. Finally more fear than harm for the player and the technician, who quickly got up.
Before this day, the penultimate, PSG had 58 points in the standings, against 57 for OL. A coronation of the Parisian formation would be historic in more ways than one, insofar as the club of Jean-Michel Aulas reigns over the first women’s division without interruption since the 2006-2007 season.
Losing the French championship would also be synonymous with a white season for OL, who also lost their crown in the Champions League, beaten in the quarter-finals … by PSG, who then suffered defeat in their half. . Initially, this meeting between OL and PSG was scheduled for March 13, before being postponed due to several cases of coronavirus within the Lyon workforce.
