We were hoping for changes for the next few weeks. They arrived much earlier than expected, especially thanks to three new players who were finally qualified for this match. Brazilians, Erika and Cristiane, as well as the recent arrival, Lisa Dahlkvist, were present and, above all, holders! No time to lose for Parisian coach Farid Benstiti, who wants a strong eleven-type entry. In total, four changes because in addition to the three players mentioned, Hawa Cissoko, the young player of the PSG, also takes her place on the team, while Perle Morroni, Marie-Laure Delie, Kosovare Asllani and Lindsey Horan leave the eleven.

As in the match against Rodez, the Parisian dominate the meeting but does not score despite the reinforcements that have been added to the Parisian eleven. Obviously there is a lack of fluidity between the players who play together for the first time. Remember that of the eleven players, there have been four changes.

 

The first goal comes at the end of the first half, in the 39th minute, by Brazilian forward and international Cristiane. On a center of Mittag, Cristiane finds herself alone within six meters and she does not miss the opportunity. 0-1 for PSG.

For the Brazilian international, Cristiane, it's a first goal in his first match, a perfect start.

The half-time ends with a logical score of 1-0 for Paris Saint-Germain.

In the second half we expect a Parisian highlight as on the first day. Yet the concretization is not there.

 

The second goal will come only in the 75th minute by the star of the team, the German attacker Anja Mittag. On a center Jessica Houara, Mittag takes the ball, only the second post, and concludes the movement in Paris. Second goal in two games for Anja Mittag for her debut in Women's D1. 0-2 for PSG.

The Parisiennes control until the end of the match and keeps the essential, the victory.

Two wins in two games, seven goals scored and none conceded. The statistics are pretty good but they do not compete with Lyon. The first big test for Paris Saint-Germain will be the next weekend at Stade Georges Lefèvre, in Saint-Germain en Laye, facing Montpellier.

As for Soyaux, the team surprises more and more. After a victory against Guingamp, 1-0, the players of Soyaux have resisted very long against the Parisiennes. Surprisingly, Soyaux could become a spoilport during this 2015-2016 championship.

 

Reactions / Mixed Zone

Farid Benstiti (PSG coach): "I have a positive feeling. The team took a long time to score against a team of Soyaux very well organized and very well grouped. I saw a lot of quality in the sequences of Paris Saint-Germain and a lot of control. We have not been rewarded for the goal opportunities we have created, but what interests me is how we created these goal opportunities. I am very satisfied. We are not late on what we are looking for. Now we have two big games in front of us. I think my players have taken a step, which was not the case against Rodez. I found a consistent and homogeneous team in the animation of the game. We have quibbled in front of the goal and let Soyaux believe, and we must avoid this type of thing to facilitate our task. "

Jean Paredes (Soyaux coach): "The ASJ Soyaux has been more than courageous and well organized. We knew that the opponent was going to impose enormous pressure, with very talented players and with a very strong athletic level. We knew we were going to suffer and we were not going to have a lot of balloons. In the first half, we have two or three shots where we can do very badly, but we did not dare or we could not too. We are not disappointed and I am very proud of girls. There are no regrets. Paris is a big team that has played well and deserved. I have to congratulate my players for the efforts. Now we still have a lot of work to do because we have to ensure our goal, the maintenance. "
