Yet the pressure of the stakes seemed to take precedence at the start of the meeting. Like the performance delivered in the first leg (2-2), Soyaux entered the game with difficulty, leaving Guingamp to dictate the game. ASJ played to scare themselves. But in the cage, Romane Munich did the job and made two decisive saves to allow her teammates to stay in the game. “We lacked mobility, running and efficiency,” summarizes Samuel Fau. At half-time the two teams left with a score of parity (0-0). “It’s not what I expected from a team that plays its maintenance,” continues the Charentais technician.
” I was scared “
At the same time, Soyaux kept an eye on the other matches on Saturday. Because the fate of the club was not only played on the lawn of Léo-Lagrange. At the same time, Issy – direct competitor for maintenance – elbowed with Montpellier. Even in the event of victory over the EAG, a success for the Ile-de-France would have definitively ratified the dreams of Soyaux. “We focused on our match, but I asked for the score in the first period. I was afraid of their result, ”admits Anna Clérac. The meeting of their direct adversary was open, Issy was quickly led. What reboost the teammates of Siga Tandia.

Stung to the quick, the locals returned to the field with a beating drum. Collin unlocked the counter on the hour mark (66th), imitated in stride by Kome. Arriving late in the ranks of Soyaldiens, the 19-year-old midfielder caused a sensation by scoring her first goal in the Charente jersey. Entering the second half (67th) in place of Léger, the Cameroonian was quick to find her marks on the lawn: a powerful strike under the crossbar left the Breton goalkeeper on the spot (74th).
Still relegated
At the final whistle, Soyaux was exultant. The maintenance has never been so close, but it is not yet recorded. So Samuel Fau procrastinates. “It’s a good operation but tonight (Saturday), we are still relegated. Today, we are at the top, but we can also go down very quickly. The girls were full of energy with the supporters but everything remains to be done. »
