This Sunday at Charlety Stadium, PSG won 3-0 against FC Metz on behalf of the fourth day of D1 Women. A logical victory but at the end of a match where Paris failed to print a real rhythm on the meeting, what pocket the three points without really impressing as the club of the capital is preparing another match already decisive Thursday in Champions League.
After the match lost 6-0 against Juvisy, coach David Fanzel Messin expects to undergo the same treatment this Sunday against PSG. The scenario of the match was quite different. A meeting that comes in the middle of a European week for PSG, with a first missed appointment and this defeat on the ground of LSK Kvinner in the first leg of the Champions League. This Sunday, the match was played with ulterior motives, that of ensuring the three points against Metz but also to preserve the squad for the return match on Thursday.
Among the rested players, Laura Georges and Irène Paredes in central defense, goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek not to mention the absence of Marie-Laure Delie, out of injury in Norway, Laure Boulleau (injured) and Cristiane just returned from Brazil following funeral of his grandmother. Many absences who participated in the remodeled PSG who faced FC Metz.
At the beginning of the match, the PSG did not seem able to take in default its opponent of the day. In twenty minutes, only two attempts to the goals to report a recovery of Erika (6th) and a header of Ouleymata Sarr (20th) each time corner, but do not represent real opportunities for goals for Paris. The first goal came from an individual exploit, overcoming the difficulty of Paris to find solutions in the game is Veronica Boquete who unlocks the meter in the 28th minute, a shot at 18 meters full axis after eliminating a defender on a fake and the ball that comes to lodge flush with the left post of Getter Laar, the Dutch goalkeeper tenured for the first time in goals messins.
This goal of Boquete does not change the face of the match and the last situation of the first period is even to the advantage of FC Metz with a shot to 20 meters Lea Khelifi easily captured by Loes Geurts.
Changes from any point of view
At the beginning of the second half, Patrice Lair made two changes by bringing Sarah Palacin and Sandy Baltimore in the place of Aminata Diallo and Hawa Cissoko. Changes that allow Eve Perisset to switch right, with Sandy Baltimore in the left lane. Changes and other intentions that allowed PSG to show a better face early in the second period. In the 49th minute, Sarah Palacin is close to finding the net but her recovery in the area is well countered by a defender Metz who diverts the ball for a corner.
Ouleymata Sarr then found Getter Laar's left post, taking a free-kick from Veronica Boquete. Lack of success for the Paris striker who sees his teammate Marie-Antoinette Katoto finally find the net two minutes later, taking a left foot at the entrance of six meters a center came from the right of Sarah Palacin (53) . At the hour of play, Katoto even offers a double and signs the third goal from Paris to a new center came from the right, this time addressed by Eve Perisset and Marie-Antoinette Katoto resumes a uncrossed head ( 61st). Katoto, Perisset, players who seemed to express themselves better after the break, especially for the Paris side much more comfortable and enterprising offensively in his right lane.
If Paris finishes better the match, FC Metz will also have the opportunity to score by Lea Khelifi, the young center-forward Lorraine at the reception of a center Juliane Gathrat within six meters and who sees his volley turned to a corner by the exit Loes Geurts (66th). The end of the match is still more difficult for the players of Metz who seem to draw physically and who had to finish the match at ten after the exit on stretcher Meryll Wenger entered early in the second period, and remained on the ground. While waiting for a medical diagnosis, David Fanzel spoke after the match of a possible concussion. Meryll Wenger had to be in any case be evacuated from the field by the healers and Metz to be at ten, the three changes having been made.
The last opportunity of the match is to put to the credit of Veronica Boquete close to a new individual exploit with a shot into the box that this time hits the crossbar (92). A 3-0 win and Paris who continues the championship without losing or conceding goals and can now focus on the return leg of Thursday where the victory will be also imperative.
