Twice the bar
The Paloises have something to answer for: Rodrigues slips a nice pass to Lena Lovato who finds the crossbar (17th). Then the game calms down a little. The Béarnaises are hampered on aerial balls: Barlieu then Romane Beillon worries Zimoch (31st, 32nd). Well launched by Nessima Kezdaoui, Rodrigues spoils a two against one just before the end of the first act.
The second half will be less exciting. David Lebleu's daughters push themselves to the maximum. On long through balls, either they are caught by the offside trap or the Gradignan goalkeeper conveniently goes beyond her 18 meters. They obtain numerous corners, without danger for the opposing rearguard.
On a ball returned by the Gironde defense, Lilou Justine, without control, unleashes a mine from 40 meters, once again on the crossbar (89th). A sixth defeat is hard to swallow given the two crossbars and this damned mess…
