What could be better than a derby to prove that this Racing Club de Lens Féminin 2024-2025 edition has all the assets to have a great season. With 15 goals scored in their last three outings, the Lensoises show an attractive face and went to the Villeneuve-d’Ascq Stadium to take up a great challenge. On arrival, it was a logical success, 3-0, for the Lensoises who left nothing to LOSC.
On the road to Racing stood a team freshly relegated from D1F, but co-leader of the championship. On a playing surface in good condition, Sarah M’Barek’s girls played hard and found themselves well in small spaces. The chances were mainly in favor of the Sang et Or, who are playing in pink this month. Romane Lejeune’s header from a corner had already alerted Beitz (15th) for the first time on his line.
Quite logically, it is Aude Gbedjissi who manages to deceive the Lille goalkeeper with a calm flat foot, at the penalty spot (0-1, 22nd). Dany Roux will try to respond by going deep on the right side, but his low shot is repelled by Joly. The LOSC attacker then had to give up her place after seriously injuring her knee (28th).
Méreau and Smaali kill Lille’s hopes
The weather deteriorates after the break and rain falls, just like the warnings in the first half. Lensoise faults are systematically punished, accompanied by yellow cards. Fatima El Ghazouani receives her card like five of her teammates before her. But Lens held on and was logically rewarded for his commitment. Alizée Méreau takes advantage of a favorable counterattack within six meters of Lille to make the break (0-2, 65th).
Then, it’s Emma Smaali who stands out with a direct free kick! Her right roll panics the Lille goalkeeper, who misses (0-3, 82nd).
An uncontested victory possible for the Artésiennes, who crushed LOSC at home and followed up with a fourth consecutive success. A clean sheet as a bonus. In the lead, RC Lens joins OM, who have one game in hand.
