The girls of Paris FC are getting closer to Europe, the Red Star is taking a big risk… It was your football weekend in Île-de-France

Every weekend, Le Parisien invites you to analyze and decipher the results of the various Ile-de-France clubs. This week, the N2 (except Poissy), the N3 and the national U19s were taking a break. The weekend was marked by the victory of Paris FC against Montpellier (2-0) in D1 Arkema and the double hiccup of Red Star on the ground and in the stands against Puy (2-3).

The performance: Paris FC advantage in the race for the Women’s Champions League

In the distance duel between them for 3rd place in D1 Arkema, qualifying for the preliminary round of the Champions League, it was Paris FC who took an ascendancy this weekend during the 16th day. Les Parisiennes pushed back Montpellier (5th) to eight points thanks to their victory (2-0) on Friday thanks to goals from Clara Mateo (1st) and Mathilde Bourdieu (33rd). “It’s an additional step against a direct competitor in view of 3rd place, welcomes Sandrine Soubeyrand. We put them at eight points. But there are still six games left, we must not lose points on the way. We are already going to savor it, we performed a solid performance. »

Fleury saw his series of 9 games without defeat (7 wins, 2 draws) come to an end against the leader Lyon (1-2). The team of Fabrice Abriel, 4th, is now five points behind Paris FC. But six days from the end, nothing is yet done for 3rd place. Paris FC has a more complicated schedule on paper and will still have to travel to Lyon and PSG, unlike Fleury who has already met them twice.

The number: 29

The second of Clara Mateo’s opener for Paris FC. It is the fastest goal scored this season. With 9 goals, the French international is 3rd in the scoring rankings behind her teammate Mathilde Bourdieu (10th goal) and Kadidiatou Diani (PSG), who scored her 17th goal against Reims (4-0).

The incident: Bauer stadium still under threat of sanctions

During the Red Star-Le Puy (2-3) match on Friday, we heard the usual protest songs of the kop: “777 not Welcome”, “Haddad resignation”… A banner demanding the departure of the president was also hung. But the tension rose a notch in the 82nd minute with many projectiles sent on the field. The match was interrupted for a few minutes. At the end, we saw captain Cheikh Ndoye, furious, going to chat with the kop, while his teammates stood further back.

The sanction is likely to be heavy for Red Star with this new incident which comes after the match stopped against Sète last season for throwing smoke bombs (3 matches behind closed doors), the broadcast on Canal + of the match against Dunkirk which had been disrupted by a laser in November (a game behind closed doors plus a partial closure), and the use of smoke bombs against Nancy (a game behind closed doors suspended).

This reprieve will therefore expire. The Red Star should still suffer one or more games behind closed doors.

The sentence: “By losing this kind of match, we are not invited up there”, Habib Beye (Red Star)

After their victory Monday at the leader Martigues (2-0), the Red Star missed a great opportunity to seize the leader’s chair by losing to the relegated Le Puy (2-3). This is his second straight defeat at home after the one conceded against Avranches (1-2) 15 days ago. “By losing this kind of match, we are not invited up there, believes Habib Beye. After Martigues, everyone said, the Red Star is the team, the most complete, the most balanced… I’ve only heard that since the start of this season. But tonight we showed that we were not. If we are not able to confirm, to be consistent, it is because there are deficits. The reality is that this year, we have never been 1st or 2nd. It goes up that we are not able to make the switch. »

The Red Star coach continues: “In 2023, we are too inconsistent. This team shows an instinct when it is in difficulty, it reacts, it responds present. But faced with matches that seem more affordable with teams that are playing for their survival, we are not determined enough, we do not show the same character. »

The bad operation: Paris 13 Atletico does not advance

Despite his courageous performances and his progress, like Friday against leader Martigues (2-2), the reality of the figures is there for Paris 13 Atletico, 17th in the National and which has not won for three months now (4-0 December 9 against Borgo), eight games (3 draws, 5 losses).

“It is played on details, regrets the coach for three games Filipe Moreira. We had a good match but we lack experience, especially defensively against a team like Martigues. We need to work a lot but we don’t have much time. »

The duel: Rouen puts pressure on Racing

Like Poissy who went for a good draw at Saint-Pryvé (1-1, goal from Yannick Mamilonne), Rouen had advanced its match of the 21st day against the reserve of Guingamp. Winners (2-0), the Normans now have a six-point lead over Racing at the top of Group A of National 2. Racing will therefore have to go and win at Chartres next Friday to return to three points. In the meantime, Guillaume Norbert’s players maintained their good momentum by going to win (2-1) at Créteil in a friendly on Saturday.
