Desire Oparanozie made a losing return from injury as her Guingamp bowed 1-0 to Montpellier at the Stade Bernard Gasset.
The Nigeria international has been sidelined since January due to a reccuring leg injury she suffered against Cameroon at the 2018 African Women's Cup of Nations in Ghana.
As a result, the 25-year-old has not featured since a 5-2 defeat to Dijon on January 27 and missed out of Guingamp's last three matches and Nigeria's six pre-Women's World Cup games in 2019.
The Super Falcons forward started for Frederic Biancalani's side and came close in the 17th and 58th minutes but keeper Casey Murphy denied her from scoring.
