Second League (17th Matchday). US Saint-Malo – FC Metz: 2-0

While their best results are obtained away and after three defeats against Lille, Auxerre, and Guingamp, the home victory was expected. This Sunday, the Diablesses did it! They brought their ninth home win, as they had committed to their supporters! Their climb towards the top of the table remains at stake. From the first minute of the match, the Malouines prove it: Charpentier, after a pass back from Ikene, misses an opportunity. And, just five minutes later, Charpentier repeats, with a beautiful shot at the entrance of the area, helped by the post, and it’s a goal! At halftime, the Malouines are ahead but the goal of three points to climb in the ranking, remains in sight. It’s in the 69th minute that Eninger doubles the lead, with a shot served by Aubert. Under the applause of the Malouin supporters, the Malouines left the field, head held high, displaying a broad smile, filled with gratitude and pride.

Halftime: 1-0
