AS Saint-Etienne 0-2 Montpellier HSC
The visitors scored after 82 seconds with a cross from Marie Levasseur for Lola Gstalter (0-1, 2′). Cooled from the start, ASSE was in great difficulty and could do nothing against Ifeoma Onumonu (0-2, 43′). Returning from the locker room, Montpellier pushed without managing to score while ASSE continued its fall, reflecting the exclusion of Chloé Tapia in the final moments.
EA Guingamp 1-3 Stade de Reims
Reims wins against a direct opponent for maintenance. The visitors took the lead thanks to a goal from Hawa Sangaré, well served by Maïté Boucly (0-1, 7′). Guingamp was close to equalizing (10′), but Reims hit the nail on the head with a counter-attack concluded by a nice breakthrough from Lucie Calba (0-2, 11′). This time, Guingamp scored thanks to Imane Touriss (1-2, 17′) and even imposed their game. However, the realism of the visitors got the better of the Bretons. Rachel Corboz (1-3, 59′), then an own header from a free kick from Maïté Boucly (1-4, 79′) offer three decisive points in the race to maintain.
