With Aussies Ellie Carpenter, Sarah Hunter and coach Joe Montemurro competing in the Première Ligue, Beyond 90 will be keeping readers up to date with how their teams are faring.

Le Havre AC 0-1 Montpellier HSC
Both teams were attacking and pressed high up the park. Ultimately, Montpellier had the last word – after a long throw from Batcheba Louis, Nina Ngeuleu scored the only goal of the match (0-1, 65′).

 

Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 FC Fleury 91
The Parisiennes took control of the game, forcing Fleury to defend deep. Traoré and Romée Leuchter combined to set up Korbin Albert for the first Parisian goal (1-0, 37′). Fleury tried to respond (52′, 64′) and equalised thanks to Aïssata Traoré (1-1, 66′). However, PSG regained the advantage following a Fleury error, thanks to Grace Geyoro and the goalscorer Sakina Karchaoui (2-1, 80th). Fleury was dangerous in the final minutes, but PSG held on and moved into 1st place.

 

AS Saint-Etienne 0-2 Dijon FCO
Despite Saint-Etienne looking threatening, Dijon took the lead thanks to Nadia Krezyman (0-1, 33′). After a loose touch from a defender, Dijon’s Viktoria Pinther lobbed the goalkeeper from 40 metres (0-2, 79′).

 

EA Guingamp 3-2 RC Strasbourg
The Guingamp goalkeeper (and France WNT callup) Marie-Morgane Sieber was imperial (6′, 27′, 34′, 45+4′), before her teammate Sabitra Bhandari opened the scoring (1-0, 58′). However, in quick succession, Strasbourg equalised with a penalty from Lorena Azzaro, and then took the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Kenza Chapelle (1-2, 65′). Guingamp responded thanks to Agathe Ollivier (2-2, 66′). In dramatic circumstances, a foul in the final minute of the match on Grace Kazadi allowed Leïla Peneau to convert a penalty and give Guingamp their first victory of the season (3-2, 90+6′).

 

Stade de Reims 1-3 FC Nantes
After a calm first half, the second half was rich in chances and goals. Julie Machart-Rabanne gave the visitors the advantage (0-1, 52′) before Kelly Gago, recently called up to the French team, scored from a tight angle (0-2, 54′). Juliette Mossard, with a powerful strike, made it 3-0 to Nantes in the 65th minute. Reims scored thanks to Rachel Corboz‘s penalty (1-3, 76’).

 

Paris FC 0-0 Olympique Lyonnais
The Aussie Derby ended in a goalless draw. Sarah Hunter was a substitute, while Ellie Carpenter played the entire game and was named Player of the Match! In the first period, Paris FC (11′, 16′) and OL (17′, 41′) managed to create dangerous chances without scoreing. However, Paris FC then focused on defence and survived several Lyon chances (Horan 62′, Chawinga 74′ 85′, Däbritz 93′). Paris had their own chance when Clara Matéo combined with Gaëtane Thiney, but Vanessa Gilles intervened in time (70′). For the first time ever, Paris FC avoided defeat at home to Lyon and they stand 3rd in the league, while Lyon lost first place to PSG.
