Tops
You’re not happy, triplet. The Australian star striker, evening captain of the Blues, stunned the Chelsea-Paris FC match (4-1) on Thursday evening by scoring three goals. And gave a big helping hand to his team who searched for a long time before finding the fault against a well-established Parisian team. Finishing with one touch of the ball on her first and second goals, she probably scored the goal of this Champions League day thanks to a superb 25-meter lob, which deceived the Parisian goalkeeper. His team can take a big hat off to him.
If the Parisiennes collapsed in the second half, Sandrine Soubeyraud’s daughters delivered a first-class performance against the recent semi-finalists of the competition. Engaged in duels, demonstrating technical accuracy, their involvement was rewarded by Gréboval’s equalizer from a corner (38th). They unfortunately collapsed physically in the second half. The Parisian team may not have created the feat, but they can leave Stamford Bridge with their heads held high.
The British winger was not in the service of Her Majesty on Thursday evening, but in that of Chelsea. In her works all evening, she made the right side of the Parisian defense dizzy. Rewarded with an assist, superb in fact, on Sam Kerr’s first goal, she could even have opened the scoring (21st) but missed her face-to-face with Nnadozei. Blues supporters will easily forgive him, as his performance was so accomplished.
Flops
Established on the right of the Parisian central defense, the former Stéphanoise missed out on her match. Not always sure of the ball, she is especially guilty of two of the four opposing goals. Returning from the locker room, she was beaten at the far post by Sam Kerr. But above all, she lost her header duel a few minutes later (55th) which allowed the Australian to score a hat-trick. Two goals which weigh heavily in the balance, and which did not allow his team to hope to do better than a defeat.
To make the perfect shot and create the feat in London, the PFC had to be solid at the back and clinical at the front. At 24, Mathilde Bourdieu assumed the status of starting number 9 at kick-off. But if there was nothing to reproach her for in the efforts, she did, however, sin in the finish. From the 13th minute, she got into a striking position in the area but her attempt ended up in Burger’s gloves. But it was in the 47th minute that she could have changed the fate of the match. Ideally served by Mateo, she lost her duel with the Blues goalkeeper. A minute later, Chelsea took the lead… In short, they failed to turn the match in the right direction and may have regrets.
