Playing on the pitch at the Auguste-Delaune stadium did not change the accounting dynamics of the Stade de Reims players. Opposed this Saturday, October 19 to FC Nantes, on behalf of the 5e day of the Women’s First League, the Rémoises conceded their fifth defeat in as many matches this season (1-3).
After a solid first half full of good intentions, Rachel Corboz’s partners conceded two goals in quick succession in the second period. Julie Rabanne, on the lookout for a big defensive error from Colette Ndzana (52e0-1), then Kelly Gago, quicker than the Reims defense in the area (54e0-2), allowed the Nantes women to take command that they never let go of.
Julie Rabanne then took it upon herself to add even more salt to the bill (63e0-3), which Rachel Corboz ended up mitigating a little when she converted a penalty, following an irregular intervention by Emily Burns on Hawa Sangaré (76e1-3). The Marnaises then pushed to try to give substance to a potential reversal of the situation. In vain, despite thirteen minutes of added time to close the game.
