At the Camp des Loges Paris has the last word. However, we could have a suspicion of doubt when the possibility that the AS Saint-Etienne can stand up to the Parisiennes and make a result in his favor, even to play the shot-on-goal. But the success was rather on the side of PSG, who scored four goals thanks to Delie, Andonova x2 and Delannoy against a single but beautiful for the ASSE, signed Chaumette. Paris has therefore won its place in the final against Lyon.


After struggling against Juvisy for his place in the semifinals - qualifying just shot-on-goal - Paris has not done in detail against the Stephanoises. Despite many absences of weight, like Veronica Boquete, Irene Paredes or Shirley Cruz, the Parisiennes have not let anything appear. AS Saint-Etienne could say as much with the lack to fill of Rose Lavaud, scorer against the MHSC in the quarter-finals of Coupe de France. As many details on the score sheet, which foreshadowed a game closed enough and can be a little less lively than those of the quarters.


The Parisiennes were at the rendezvous
Paris will however take the brink of the game, taking the ascendancy of the game without much difficulty against a team, which pale in this start of the game. Yet the players of ASSE and the staff knew the importance of this semi-final poster, a place in the final, which would not have been undeserved. For a team that has struggled since the beginning of this season to play football, in "boundary" conditions that we discussed with Hervé Didier on the eve of the match. A feminine section that lacks consideration and yet has talented players, who have proven that they are committed to holding their position in the elite, D1 Feminine.
To counter the absence of Paredes, Patrice Lair again resorted to Grace Geyoro as a central defender alongside George. While Lawrence and Delannoy were playing on the sides, with Perisset in front of the captain. Natasa Andonova played the relay runners and sentinels in the middle with Formiga and Diallo, while Delie and Cristiane were two in attack. For Saint-Etienne, Maeva Clemaron will be of considerable support for his team to stand up to this Parisian opponent, with full confidence in this meeting. While in the lead, Julie Peruzetto and Lucie Pingeon will make hands and feet to be decisive.


Paris power three

At the kick-off, ASSE is therefore in front of PSG, especially defensively. The red and blue club, however, will get their first dangerous opportunity in the 9th minute, on a raid on the left side of the Canadian, Ashley Lawrence, who manages to hand over to Marie-Laure Delie. But the French international, will not fit his shot, powerful, flying over the frame of Mylène Chavas.

Paris is on each ball, but Saint Etienne follows the pace for now. Patrice Lair asks his team to "hurry" to be "conquering" in the field. A request that will be followed quickly, to the letter. The Parisians in numerical superiority in the zone of 20 meters will destabilize the Saint Etienne club, which will allow Eve Perisset to transmit a good ball towards Natasa Andonova (19 ') to transform this opportunity 1-0!

The players of Patrice Lair will want to continue their momentum, since the commitment of Saint-Etienne. A delivery of Delie in favor of Cristiane (20 '), which is blocked by Clemaron in his attempt. A vain opportunity, but that will yet bring the second goal in Paris. On a corner shot by Perisset, Diallo deflected the ball and Delie recovered at the back post 2-0!ASSE tries to react and get out of this bad situation, a few minutes after that on a cross coming from the right but Eloise Vallet (24 ') does not manage to follow on a direct recovery from the left, difficult. Maeva Clemaron and Julie Peruzzetto try to keep their team afloat, not to give up, but it's a complicated situation, and the players of Hervé Didier get bogged down in a bad dynamic. Well despite them.

On a foul on Formiga, Clemaron (33 ') receives a yellow card, and Paris has a good free kick. Buteuse, Andonova (34 ') does not want to stop there, and takes the free kick, directly captured by Chavas. The Macedonian (36 ') will have more chances moments after that. A counterattack played quickly by Cristiane, and Formiga center to Andonova 3-0! A doubling of auspicious for the rookie Paris.

Paris will get many opportunities, such as this center of Perisset for Cristiane (43 ') but his shot flies over the cages of Chavas. The crowd is delirious on the Parisian occasions. Saint-Etienne is completely overwhelmed, beaten physically and tactically. The mind is not looking good for Stéphanoises. The half-time ends on this big Parisian advantage, but which can however be reassembled, as Guingamp was the proof a fortnight ago. But ASSE will have trouble on its side to have as many opportunities.

ASSE saves the honor

After returning from the locker room, the coach from Saint-Etienne decided to have Lou Mery take the place of Marion Boishardy in defense. Saint-Etienne wants to believe in its goal, but not really in the "remontada" that could realize the EAG. Like this attempt by Lucie Pingeon (51 '), who is caught by Laura George annihilating the opportunity.

Paris take control, with this action, a shot from Perisset (52 '), in great shape in this match, but too crushed and picked up on the ground in two stages by Chavas. Lawrence (53 ') is also trying on a shot or center left flank, but the ball ends in the gloves of the door. Delie and Cristiane were in position.

Saint-Eitenne tries hard to get out of this bad pass, and continues to try, but the center of Cirri (54 ') at 20 meters, ends directly in the gloves of Kiedrzynek. For Paris also it becomes more complicated to find the flaw, even on this golden opportunity for Cristiane (57 '), who takes advantage of the exit Chavas to feign the goalkeeper before sending the ball to the goal. But his shot is not powerful enough and he will be cleared almost on the line by Lou Mery. Les Vertes will not have as many chances, when Sabrina Delannoy (59 ') will convert the center of Perisset on a free kick, for the fourth goal in Paris 4-0!

Paris is very much in vain, and has squandered its opponent without ever retreating. Then comes the first change with the entry of Perle Morroni (60 '), against Eve Perisset. In the other camp, Clemaron gave way to Gherbi. The team of Saint-Etienne will close a little more strategically his defense to avoid new disappointments. While the lack of Perisset is felt throughout the game.

The last minutes are not lacking rhythm but realism. Paris is content with his lead, while remaining vigilant in his goal area. But continuing to attack to maintain the danger in the enemy camptrain. Like Ashley Lawrence (69 ') who tries to create the gap on the side, but she is stopped physically by Teninsoun Sissoko. Patrice Lair then brings in Lina Boussaha (70 ') and Sarah Palacin (76'), former Stephanoise, against Cristiane and Delie. While Hervé Didier asks Audrey Chaumette (78 ') to also enter the place of Lucie Pingeon, who gave a lot.

Julie Peruzzetto, had several times this iron will to bring the goal to his team, but in front of a compact defense and which marks it ostensibly, the task proved much more than complicated to raise. Even his attempt at the 83rd minute, will be released in-extremis by Lawrence. Saint-Etienne was almost there, against a Parisian team, which begins to show some excitement and a lack of vigilance in its surface. Peruzzetto (87 ') will have a new opportunity, slightly off the axis, but his shot will be completely unscrewed.The fierceness of the Stephanoises will however end up paying. The Vertes are going to have the goal of the end. A reduction of the score signed Audrey Chaumette, a magnificent volley, full axis at the entrance to the penalty area, passing between the Paris defense to lodge at the back post of Katarzyna Kiedrzynek 4-1!

Saint-Etienne will have to be content with this goal and return empty-handed in the Forez after this long trip to Paris. While Parisians continue their adventure in the final and not against any team since it is the ogre Lyon, May 20 in Vannes.
