On a Saturday afternoon devoid of any photos, the women’s team of Paris Saint-Germain, a leading French football club, stepped up to make up for their match from the 6th day. This match, which was initially scheduled against Guingamp last November, had not been played. This time around, the Parisiennes delivered a scintillating performance on their home ground at the Poissy Campus, defeating their opponents 5-0.
The match opened with an energizing start. Elisa De Almeida, in the 3rd minute of the match itself, scored the first goal. She accomplished this by expertly deflecting a corner shot given by Sakina Karchaoui at the near post. The team was in complete control, and Tabitha Chawinga utilized this control to double the lead in the 30th minute. She did so via a clever dive ball, marking the team’s dominance in the match.
The second half of the match was a continuation of their splendid performance. Grace Geyoro scored her first goal of the evening in the 69th minute. This goal was the result of a swift counter-attack that she executed to perfection. Soon after, the Parisiennes were the beneficiaries of an unfortunate own goal from Maiwen Regard. In an attempt to clear the ball, Regard missed her mark and ended up deceiving her own goalkeeper. This resulted in an own goal that further extended Paris Saint-Germain’s lead. Grace Geyoro further capitalized on this lead, scoring her second goal of the match and ultimately sealing the score.
This victory has significant implications for the PSG women’s team. They are now trailing Olympique Lyonnais by seven points, who currently occupy the top position of D1 Arkema. Paris FC, despite having one game in hand, is five points behind its local rival. Given the points lead that these three teams have, their participation in the final phase of this championship is almost guaranteed.
