The D2 opens its arms to them. Facing the girls of SM Caen, despite an already long season of eleven months in the legs, Damien Bollini’s proteges immediately showed their character. It was Romane Leveau who opened the scoring in the second minute on a header from captain Sang et or Anaïs Gasnier. A goal that counts double this Sunday, June 19, at the Venoy stadium, since the regulations governing the play-offs give an advantage to scoring for your opponent. But the numerical advantage is short-lived. Caen took advantage of a free kick to equalize at 11′. We are caught on a big individual error
regrets Damien Bollini, the Le Mans coach. It was overall a choppy match, not necessarily great content. Technically, it was even pretty average.
In the first half hour of play, Les Mancelles set the pace and tried with a shot to impress the Normandy goalkeeper, Jade Dumas (34′). Just before returning to the locker room, it was again the Sartheoises who saw their game upset by an intervention by Tatiana Bastard as the ball was heading straight for the Caen goals (44′).
“A match too closed”
A more balanced second period which did not allow one of the two teams, each champion of its championship, to take the advantage. Balanced? I would rather have said closed. None of the teams wanted to discover each other. There was no risk taking. It’s difficult to know who will really be able to take the lead in the second leg. I said it before our trip to Caen, for me, the winner will be the team that has best managed its emotions. We will keep the positive: with an away goal, we start with a definite advantage next Sunday.
