At the end of Sunday’s eighth matchday, PSG and OL won respectively in Bordeaux (3-0) and against newly promoted Le Havre (1-0).
BORDEAUX GIRONDINS – PARIS-SG: 0-3
Diani leads the way
Bordeaux received on Sunday afternoon at the Sainte-Germaine stadium, Paris-SG who wanted to return to victory after the draw suffered against Montpellier (2-2, November 5). Hampered by established and ambitious players from Bordeaux, players from the capital struggled to exist and make themselves dangerous in the first period. Maëlle Garbino was very close to giving the Girondins the lead but her shot found the opposing team’s goal (21st). Finally, it was the Parisian Kadidiatou Diani, following a fall from a corner kick, who delivered her just before returning to the locker room with a magnificent unbalanced shot (1-0, 45th + 2). Paris took the lead at the best moment and would widen the gap in the second half from Sandy Baltimore (2-0, 58th) and Oriane Jean-François (3-0, 71st). Thanks to this success, PSG regained the second place in the standings, left the day before to PFC, winners at Guingamp by the same score (3-0).

OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS-LE HAVRE AC: 1-0
Horan breaks the deadlock
It was therefore not the shot of a day and we will have to contend with Le Havre this season. On the Olympique Lyonnais lawn, the promoted side lost but with the lowest score (0-1), like against PFC in September (3rd matchday). HAC, which had also kept PSG in check at the beginning of October (2-2), proved to be solid and held up well in the first half, putting the leaders in check at half-time (0-0). Like their Parisian rival, OL broke the deadlock from set pieces. Full axis, the American striker Lindsey Horan hit her direct free kick perfectly to fool Laëtitia Philippe with a low right foot (1-0, 49th). Sonia Bompastor’s players lacked effectiveness to weigh down the score but the essential was ensured. These three points allow him to keep the Parisian pursuers at a distance (+2 on PSG, +4 on PFC, future opponent).
🔚 It’s over in Lyon!
