the tops and flops of the 11th day of Arkema Premier League

ARKEMA PREMIERE LIGUE 2025/2026 – If this year 2025 was conducive to success for OL or even Paris FC, winner of the Coupe de France, it was time for it to end for others, like Saint-Etienne and even PSG.

The holidays are not going to have the same flavor for everyone. If they will be quite gentle on the side of Lyon or Nantes, this will not be the case for Montpellier or even PSG, guilty of an administrative error and heavily penalized. Which had the effect of relaunching the race for the play-offs.

Lens and Strasbourg breathe

It’s a little early Christmas for Lens, who will spend the holidays far – or at least outside – the relegation zone. However, coming back badly from the break and leading 1-0 after a goal from Romane Enguehard, the Sang et Or reversed the course of the game in two minutes. Thanks to Listen to Gbedjissi first, from a penalty, then an achievement of type Thursday. With a 3^th consecutive match without defeat, the Lensoises escape from the bottom of the table and climb to 9^th place, even ahead of their competitors of the day from Le Havre.

To this good operation is added that of Strasbourg, which put an end to the good series of Nantes, which remained on 4 successes in a row. With a superb strike outside the area, Fatima Pinto left no chance Burns and forced Nantes to chase the score. The Alsatian defense, however, held firm, the lack of opposing realism helping to validate this short but precious victory (1-0). A good breath of fresh air after having taken only 1 point during the 3 previous days, Strasbourg returns to the soft underbelly of Arkema and moves away from the first relegation.

Montpellier and PSG grimace

While ASSE battled in vain against Dijon, while Lens did the job against Le Havre, OM and Montpellier played a very important match in the race to maintain their position. And woe to the vanquished in this opposition. Montpellier remained on a convincing performance against PSG unlike Marseille who had suffered during the previous two days. But the players of Corinne Deacon quickly got their hands on the score before doubling the lead in added time of the first period. Then to complete the job at the hour mark. A boost of confidence for the Marseillaises but a thorn in the side for the Montpellier women, now in the red.

It’s an end to the year – or even a full year – to forget also for PSG, which has a series of disappointments. Eliminated from the Champions League, left behind by OL Lyonnes in the Arkema Premier League, the Parisiennes once again did not offer much against their counterparts from Paris FC. A closed match during which Mylène Chavas did not have a single save to make as Paris Saint-Germain’s offensives were feverish. Beyond this draw (0-0), PSG had a very bad surprise the day after the weekend.

The Parisian sanction shakes up the top 4

It was all well and good to grumble at Lens at the start of the season for an administrative error, but it would still have been necessary to clean up his house. Because if PSG had then recovered the 3 points on the green carpet, it has just lost some… due to an administrative error. And it is not 3 points but 9 which are taken away from him. Fleury had raised an irregularity on the Canadian recruit’s license Florianne Jourde who did not have the necessary international transfer certificate. Non-compliance confirmed by the Federal Regulations and Litigation Commission and sanctioned.

PSG thus lost a match against Fleury, but also against Strasbourg and Le Havre, in which the midfielder also took part. PSG thus falls outside the top 4 in favor of Fleury while OL quietly dominates ahead of Paris FC and Nantes. With 3 points added to the scoreboard, Strasbourg supplants Dijon and takes 6^th instead, Le Havre is a little more sheltered from the red zone. While waiting for the outcome of the appeal…

🚨🚨 🤦‍♀️ Heavy sanction for PSG Féminin
The club lost 3 matches on the green carpet, or 9 points in the standings.

PSG has announced that it will appeal the decision.
