There was no surprise, Sunday afternoon, on the ground of Guingamp where Paris imposes on the relatively large score of 1-4.
Everything starts well for the visiting club that grows from the start of the match. After only 4 minutes of play, Debever hangs Sarr on the right side of the Parisian attack. Sabrina Delannoy is in charge of hitting the free kick. The ball is deflected into the penalty area and it is Cristiane, alone at the far post, who adjusts his head to lob the Breton keeper.
Like his match against St-Maur, Guingamp is friable and we think that Paris will spin to an easy victory. But this time, the players of Sarah Mbarek recover and begin to leave their reserve. Storti dispels doubts in the 18th minute, the Breton player controls a poorly cleared ball in the axis and tries his luck: 1-1!
The game seems to be balanced in midfield, but Paris takes advantage of the technical qualities of his players to keep their foot on the ball and place some accelerations. At the half-hour, Horan center right side and Cristiane emerges at the first post to restore the advantage to his team.
At the 40th minute, Benoit must go out on injury, it is replaced by Carage and will be absent several weeks.
At the end of the first half, Paris gets several clear opportunities. At the 45th, Dahlkvist alerts Mainguy for the first time: the goalkeeper diverts the ball into Sarr's feet, which fails to straighten. Moments later, the Swede recidivated and scored the third goal for Paris. The break is done.
In the second half, Paris slightly accentuates its domination and controls the match. The visiting team gets many corners, without concretizing. It is finally Horan who aggravates the score after the hour of play, of a strike of right. The score will not change anymore. Farid Benstiti will take the opportunity to bring young players, Morroni, Karchouni and Katoto.
Paris still keeps Montpellier and Juvisy in the crosshairs and will doubtless drag its counter-performances for the past weeks, while Guingamp takes advantage of the defeats of the 3 promoted to keep his place above the waterline, just in front of his next week's opponent: Saint-Étienne.
