Here are the results of the 11th day of Ladies competition in Nationale 1.
The Leo narrowly
The summit match kept its promises. “ It was quite an emotional game because a lot of girls played for the other team; I myself coached at Orée and Dorian (Thiéry) coached at Léo: he knew practically all the girls on my team. So it was a big emotional sequence“, explains Romain Manneback. A meeting in several stages with alternating dominations and a first goal on a long pass from Meulemans who crossed the entire field and the local defense to find Adélaïde van Houtryve well placed and who deflected into the goal. 0-1 against the run of play. At the end of the second quarter, Orée scored a goal that the referees canceled for an obscure reason (a kick or a ball not coming out of the circle). This is the halftime score. Van Houtryve will score a hat-trick against her favorite team (she left Orée to join Léo at the start of the season). “ I’m happy for her because it was a special match. We lead 1-3 and we scare ourselves with a stupid defensive error (all we had to do was let the ball out): a former player from us, Madison Croese, scored the goal. It wasn’t the best game of our season. When things don’t work with the stick, you have to run and play defense. But in the end, we took the stick back as it was supposed to. » L’Orée is overtaken by Brugge who scored just one small goal against the Penguin: small goal, big points.
A questionable stroke
There were 90 seconds left when a player from Beerschot received a high ball which she propelled towards the goal on a Uccle player. “ My player was less than 3 meters away and the ball was at thigh height; my goalkeeper was behind my player, describes Maxime Saussez. Logically, the dangerous play should have been whistled but the referee indicated the stroke point, even if his colleague thought the opposite. The referees recognized after the match that there was no stroke but at the very moment, the referee did not want to reverse his decision. This is extremely frustrating and this mistake costs us two points. »
Uccle opened the scoring in the first quarter with a quick reconversion, Océane Lo Guidice scoring 0-1. “ We control the match and we have to score a second goal: we have the opportunity in one on one and we don’t score it. In the last quarter, the Bee plays without a goalkeeper and we hold on until this stroke incident. We had a very good match and we lost 2 points due to a refereeing error. That deprives us of the top 4. Well, we have a real final next Sunday against Orée to join this top 4. We are top 6 and therefore within our objective; we have been undefeated since the beginning of October. It’s not so bad...” Information taken regarding the phase of the stroke, it is doubly questionable: 1. the shot on goal in the air at hip height on a defender 3 meters away with the goalkeeper behind her player must be whistled as dangerous play or at worst pc. 2. During the execution of the stroke, the starting position of the shooter was at fault: the attacker has her left foot in front of the line of the ball which is explicitly prohibited in the regulations.
Caruso almost stopped everything
Thibault de Potter, the T1 of Indiana, feared this trip to Courtrai. “ Like all the other teams, we don’t like going to Saint Georges. Their goalkeeper is very difficult to pass. We got 10 pc and she stopped them all. And then there is their number 25 which has huge flicks. It can be very effective. » Saint Georges will lead by a goal scored in the first quarter. Indiana has many possibilities to come back to the score but without success. It is finally in the 3rd quarter that everything will be decided. “ We get a stroke that Candela will score before we score 1-2 barely two minutes later. We lead the game and finally we take these well-deserved points. »
Three good points
Louvain-la-Neuve took 3 good points at the Parc. Zizou Melouani: “ It’s never easy to go to the Park: their crowd is hot, their pitch is slippery especially on the grandstand side and this team creates chances. We score the first goal via Emilie Gillardin and they equalize on an overflow and pass back. Atteneri Ortiz makes it 1-2 in the 2nd quarter and despite several chances, the score does not change. We neutralize ourselves in a way. » Louvain-la-Neuve will score its 3rd goal a few minutes from the end via Clémence Sohet. François Fabri can only see the damage: “ We had a good reaction after the first goal conceded. Juliette Vaesen scores 1-1. We take the 1-2 on a marking error. Then we dominate the 3rd quarter but we score a goal that goes through the entire defense and is scored at the far post. It’s the law of sport. We have 3 months to take care of all these details that make the difference. Louvain-la-Neuve deserves its victory but I remain convinced that we could have taken a point. »
3 posts
The very important match at Rasante smiled on the locals who beat Lara 2-1. Anouk Lalande opened the scoring on the PC. After the Wavriennes equalized, Olivia Maes gave the Woluwéennes victory also on the PC. Brian Van Bogaert: “ These are 3 good points because we overtake our opponent of the day. But be careful, everyone is close. And with nothing, everything can change. We had more pc than the Lara, we put two posts, but the Lara also has a post at the end of the match. » Indeed, it can come down to very little… a pole.
A victorious PC
Brugge took the 3 points against the Penguin via a very small goal. For Maxi Garreta, it is a bitter feeling that prevails. “We put in a good performance against Bruges. We have opportunities, PCs. They score on PC 10 minutes from time. A draw would have been more logical but we are not scoring this pc a few minutes from the end. We missed success. » On the Bruges side, it is obviously relief after a long moment of uncertainty since the victorious PC will not arrive until the end of the match. “ The first half was rather balanced with the start of the match dominated by the Penguin, then balance and 2 pc for the Penguin. Then we were dominant with 5 pc in the 3rd quarter. The pc is marked by Analia Belda following a well-worked phase. The Penguin then tried to equalize but had to be wary of our quick counterattacks. » This victory for Brugge gives it 2nd place, which was trailing at the bottom of the ranking at the start of the competition. Incredible Nationale 1 where everything is possible.
