Le Havre won 1-0 at home against Paris FC. Le Havre’s goal scorer was Francisca Alejandra Lara Lara (34). In a game with nothing really riding on the outcome, Le Havre keep alive hopes to avoid finishing bottom.

Dijon, at home, won 2-1 against Guingamp. The goals for Dijon came from Léa Khelifi (6 and 11) and the goal for Guingamp was from Sarah Cambot (16).

Montpellier won 2-1 at home against Soyaux. Elisa De Almeida (52 and 55) grabbed both of Montpellier’s goals with Laura Bourgouin (63) finding the net for Soyaux. After this victory, Montpellier regain fifth place in the table, but they still are only two points ahead of Guingamp and their place is not secured yet.

Fleury won at home against Issy 3-1. Goals for Fleury from Léa Le Garrec (14), Dominika Grabowska (74) and Julie Piga (86) and Issy’s strike came from Batcheba Louis (50). With this defeat, Issy will not be able to finish better than at the eleventh place.

Paris Saint Germain won 4-0 away from home against Reims. Goals for Paris SG from Signe Bruun (19 and 44), Sandy Baltimore (43) and Perle Moroni (90+5 penalty). PSG put in an impressive performance which never game Reims a chance.

Olympique Lyonnais won away from home against Bordeaux 1-0. Goal for Lyon from Eugénie Le Sommer (9). Another difficult win for Lyon who can still hope to win the title if they beat Paris SG on May 30.

The D1 ARKEMA table now looks like this:
