The first half is Gironde with high pressure, the advantage is for Bordeaux with a score of. 2 goals to 1 at the break. After conceding a largely avoidable penalty (Yousra Bennacer for the locals), the Bordeaux women took advantage of two errors in the defense of the Mérignac-Arlac players, transformed by the Marine et blanc with Sarah Guellil (n°11) and Viviane Baudaud (n °3). These are the two scorers for FCGB.
During the second half, the players in green and white increased the pace of the match and took advantage of a drop in speed from Bordeaux, who were not dangerous enough in this second act.
In defensive difficulty, the Bordelaises are even on the verge of conceding a third goal in two face-to-face encounters well stopped by our goalkeeper Lambert (n°1) and a free kick on the bar from Bennacer, author of a big game in midfield.
The players of Romain Vitry, the Bordeaux coach, continue their preparation in championship mode, like the boys. They avoid a defeat and can start the next matches more calmly. First place in the group could be decided in the return match between these two teams provided that they are flawless until then.
Reactions from the players
Yousra Bennacer, milieu de terrain Mérignac Arlac : “We had a very good match, I am proud of what the team offered. We got into our game from the first minutes. We held on until the end to snatch a draw at home (2-2). We pushed until the end to win the match. It will be decided in the return match. As a former Girondine, I wouldn’t say it’s revenge, but it’s nice to have had a great match against them and to have offered some content.”
Sarah Guellil, striker for the Girondins de Bordeaux : “It was a good match, but in the second half we slowed down. I don’t know if it’s physical or mental. We’re going to train to do better the next time. It might be physical with our lack of preparation I felt good in this match even if I finished it tired.
