“Isatis’ Victory in Tense Match Against Tarnaises Deprived of Executives: Important Step in Race to Maintain”

The meeting promised to be complicated for Tarnaises deprived of four executives. The scenario was, but the Isatis did not let go and won with forceps (1-0).

The first period is balanced, the two teams are quite compact and it is the Tarnaises who have control of the ball.

Moreover, they are the ones who obtain the first position. Fast, the Yzeuriennes exploit the slightest errors on the counter: the first costs a yellow to Koutoupot who defends intelligently, the second is badly negotiated by Gbedjissi. The visitors’ top scorer who could have opened the scoring just before the break with a fine shot at the edge of the area, but Eva Danjou pushed the ball back onto the crossbar with a superb tap.

An unfailing mind

The start of the second period is perfect for Alain Bénédet’s players. On a back pass not strong enough for the visiting goalkeeper, Kim Cazeau recovers the ball and opens the scoring. She misses the goal of the break shortly after following a long ride. The visitors stayed in the locker room and their goalkeeper let them know.

The match gets complicated before the hour mark with the exclusion of Pauline Mehadji for the Isatis. In numerical superiority, the visitors take control of the debates and the waves are linked in the Tarn camp. With a lot of abnegation, resignation and envy, the Isatis don’t give up and defend their surface. They hold their advantage until the end and let their joy explode at the final whistle. A legitimate happiness as this victory is important in the race to maintain.

With three days remaining, the Isatis have their destiny in their hands. First non-relegation with four points ahead of Grenoble, they will have to take at least six points to be sure to maintain themselves. On the program: a trip to Le Puy in two weeks then the reception of Montauban for a derby which will be worth its weight in gold. They will end the season with a perilous trip to Saint-Etienne, already assured of its promotion to D1 Arkema. The end of the Isatis season promises to be as breathtaking as it is exciting.
