With Matildas defender Ellie Carpenter competing in D1 Féminine, Beyond 90 will be keeping readers up to date with how Carpenter and her team are faring.

Paris FC won 2-0 against Montpellier HSC thanks to a Clara Matéo goal after 29 seconds and Mathilde Bourdieu’s strike in the 33rd minute. MHSC couldn’t find a way to score following that slow start, while the hosts consolidated their third place.

Olympique Lyonnais and Ellie Carpenter won 2-1 away to FC Fleury 91. Thanks to good pressing, Sara Däbritz opened the score for Lyon, then Lindsey Horan doubled their lead at 81′ after getting on the end of Selma Bacha’s corner-kick. Fleury earned a consolation in stoppage time as Léa Le Garrec missed her penalty kick but scored from the rebound (90+6′).

EA Guingamp is in good form and now have three wins in a row against good teams: Reims, Montpellier, and Girondins de Bordeaux (2-0). Aissata Traore scored at 29′ after a 50 metre run from Laurie Teinturier. Traore has scored four goals in the last three games. Maiwen Renard made the game safe for Guingamp by scoring at 89′.

Le Havre AC won 2-1 away to Rodez AF. Silke Demeyere opened the scoring at 23′, then Rodez reacted with Solène Barbance’s goal on 62 minutes. However, the visitors were not to be denied and halftime substitute Kelsey Araujo scored a late winner. Rodez could have equalised from the penalty spot but Laetitia Philippe made a crucial save in the second minute of stoppage time. Relegation-threatened Rodez are now four points from safety with six games remaining.

ASJ Soyaux and Dijon FCO split the points with a 1-1 draw. Léa Declercq gave the lead to Dijon with a free-kick just before halftime (43′), but Fadimatou Kome equalised for Soyuax on 77 minutes.

Paris Saint-Germain didn’t give any chance to Stade de Reims and won 4-0. Kadidiatou Diani opened the scoring at 11′ after great work from Ramona Bachmann and Li Mengwen. Bachmann was also the source of the second goal, recovering a ball 25 metres from Reims’ goal, playing a one-two with Diani and scoring (16′). Amalie Vansgaard scored her first PSG goal in the 65th minute, then Sandy Baltimore scored on 76 minutes.
