Find the main information from the 19th day of the Arkema Premier League, which is part of the history of French women’s football.
The top: Montpellier
The Héraultaises, who were leading in stoppage time against Paris Saint-Germain last week (before losing 3-2), this time held their advantage in the majestic Orange Vélodrome. Launched by a quick and improbable own goal from Olympique de Marseille, MHSC (2-1 victory) is still last but on equal points with Saint-Etienne and Lens, the Green having won the other fear match against Artésiennes (2-1).
The flop: OL
As incredible as it may seem, Olympique Lyonnais did not win. In Strasbourg, the Rhodaniennes were held to a draw (2-2) for only the second time this season. Even if coach Jonatan Giraldez rotated between the two Champions League matches against Wolfsburg (and with the league leader position already largely assured), it was still an event.
The best player: Monique Ngock (Fleury)
She did not manage to secure a draw on Paris FC’s field, at Charléty (2-1), but it was very close as the Parisians won with a penalty in stoppage time. In the 18th minute, the Fleury player had equalized with an exceptional lob from nearly 35 meters under the bar, slightly offside.
Key numbers
69,313
This is the total number of spectators recorded on this 19th day, more than doubling the previous record of 31,900 spectators from 2019. OM – Montpellier was played in front of 35,713 people, while Nantes – PSG, Strasbourg – OL, and ASSE – Lens took place at the Beaujoire, Meinau, and Geoffroy-Guichard stadiums in a true operation of big stadiums this weekend.
3
Paris Saint-Germain emerged victorious from the clash in Nantes (1-2), allowing them to take third place with a two-point lead over the Canaries and one point ahead of Paris FC. It should be noted that in the Final Four, it is essential to avoid the fourth place since it will offer OL as an opponent (Lyon, furthermore).
