Olympique Lyonnais won 4-1 against Dijon FCO. OL was surprised by Dijon’s opener from Maria Diaz (25′) but reacted thanks to Alice Sombath (34′), scoring her second goal in two games. However, Lyon had to wait until the 70′ to take the lead through Melchie Dumornay and Ada Hegerberg (73′). Ellie Carpenter was not on the teamsheet.
Le Havre AC won 2-0 against EA Guingamp thanks to Ines Benyahia from the penalty spot (29′) and Deja Davis (44′).
AS Saint-Etienne upset LOSC Lille 1-2. Lille started the game perfectly, as they took an early lead thanks to Jessy Roux (2′) before Saint-Etienne equalized thanks to Phoenetia Browne’s penalty (57′) and got the win thanks to England’s Kess Elmore (72′).
Montpellier HSC took the points against Stade de Reims with a 2-1 win. Former Reims’ Kethna Louis gave the lead to Montpellier (51′) before Sonia Ouchene made the gap three minutes later. The visitors reduced the score on the 69′ thanks to Nigerian international Rofiat Imuran.
Paris Saint-Germain and Clare Hunt who played the entire game, avoided the worst scenario and won after a late goal against FC Fleury 91 (2-1). Marie-Antoinette Katoto opened the score for PSG (13′), and Fleury responded well with Ewelyna Kamczyk (40′). Paris could make a bad operation with a draw but Jackie Groenen scored the golden goal in a critical situation, just before the final whistle at 90+7′.
The other Paris, Paris FC won by the littlest margin against the Girondins de Bordeaux. Clara Matéo scored at 41′, served by Louise Fleury. Fleury and Mateo are the most implicated duo in goals of the championship. Sarah Hunter came in at halftime.
