She left a quarter of an hour before the end with the feeling of a job well accomplished. She finally returned to the locker room with a bitter taste. Marie-Antoinette Katoto was the symbol of Parisian efficiency until her release. On her second real opportunity, the attacker of the French team put the Parisiennes in front (0-1, 44th) in a fox of the surfaces. It was in this same situation that she doubled the lead after good work from Chawinga. Until her exit, replaced by Lieke Martens (75th), she allowed her team to be calm and always dangerous, on the counterattack. The only downside was that she missed the hat-trick (70th) which could have changed things.
In ten minutes, the Fenottes turned the situation around. While they were led against the run of play, in the first period, they came back amorphous. Sonia Bompastor’s charges put themselves in danger at 0-2, but ended up making themselves heard in a packed Groupama Stadium. The OL coach did not choose to turn everything upside down, but to add a different touch. After her many differences in the first period, Delphine Cascarino was tired and Bompastor had the sense to replace her with Amel Majri (75th). The young mother was the one who knew how to show herself to give a precious advantage (86th) in the last minutes. Lyon ultimately emerges from this confrontation on a favorable waiver.
FLOPS
We have highlighted the Lyonnaises’ ability to turn the match around, but how can we not mention Paris Saint-Germain. Prêcheur’s daughters collapsed in the face of Lyon’s fury. Even though they were quiet for more than sixty minutes. Did they see themselves as too beautiful at the end of the meeting? Perhaps, but what is certain is this defensive generosity which benefited the Lyonnaises. On Diani’s goal, De Almeida was too far away to counter the Lyon attacker and on Majri’s goal, the Rouge et Bleu rearguard had to intervene.
Fenottes supporters must wait for the return of Ada Hegerberg, like the Messiah. Positioned at the forefront, Becho was not necessarily less efficient than her teammate Kadidiatou Diani. But she didn’t know how to score or rebel. She did not know how to be in the right tone even before the first goal of the players from the capital (44th). Unlike Dumornay or Cascarino. The Lyon winger was very impactful, but was not helped by the ghost presence of Becho. Replaced by Danielle Van de Donk (57th), who did not stand out any more than Becho despite the madness of the last minutes.
