The Violettes continue their winning streak with a clear victory this Saturday night against Metz (2-0) at the Stadium. Two goals by Solanet and Lapassouse confirm the team’s defensive strength and promotion ambitions of TFC.

We are still far from the definitive closure of the vote, but the runoff seems to be increasingly favorable to the Violettes, who may further widen the gap with their direct competitors, depending on the respective results of the latter, this afternoon. The ballot deposited in the ballot box on Saturday night, in front of a growing and delighted audience, remained free of any amendments.
This new “clean sheet” (Alain Decaux would have appreciated) is reminiscent of the copy handed in against Nice just a month ago. It owes much to the incredible release by the defensive base. Riquelme, Jumiére-Seignou, Bogi, Pardon, form the local equivalent of the magical square, relying on the goalkeeper and launching the forwards’ attacks, with Louna Lapassouse leading the charge.
The ex-Cannoise, faithful to her good habits, doubled the score. The opening goal was a wonderful curling shot by Tatiana Solanet towards the second post, unstoppable for Lisa Lebrun. With a two-goal lead, they managed to keep the Mosellanes from reducing the gap.
Metz seemed to be going in circles
They had the opportunity, twenty minutes before the final whistle. Metz seemed to be stuck without finding a solution. Conversely, one breach was enough for the leader riding a wave of uninterrupted success for three months now. TFC would comfortably settle in the upper ranks. Looking forward to the upcoming matches in the exciting atmosphere.
