Evian Thonon Women delivered a dominant home performance at the Stade Joseph‑Moynat, securing a convincing 3‑1 victory over Rodez Aveyron Women in a crucial Division 2 Féminine clash. The win keeps Evian’s promotion hopes alive as the season enters its decisive final weeks.

Match Overview

Playing under the lights on a warm spring evening, Evian Thonon took control from the opening whistle. The home side pressed high and created early chances, forcing Rodez goalkeeper Mélanie Gignoux into several smart saves. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute when striker Clara Fontaine latched onto a through ball and slotted calmly past Gignoux.

Rodez struggled to find rhythm in midfield, frequently losing possession in dangerous areas. Evian doubled the lead just before half-time through a well‑worked corner routine, with defender Sarah Leclerc heading home from close range. The visitors made a tactical change at the interval, introducing an extra midfielder, but it was Evian who struck again in the 57th minute – Fontaine completing her brace with a composed finish after a swift counter‑attack.
