On behalf of the 17th day, PSG received the ASJ Soyaux for a meeting that looked like rehearsals for the Parisian women for their return leg against Bayern next Wednesday. But also compared to their first leg against Soyaux, which ended on the same score of 2-0!

Keeping energy for Bayern

It is a poster that promised to be tricky for PSG. The club was in a very delicate position in this match after their disappointment against Bayern on Thursday. Patrice Lair left some players on the bench early in the game, like Kiedrzynek, Perisset, Delie or Geyoro. He also had to compose without an indisputable incumbent player, Irene Paredes injured without speaking about Marie-Antoinette Katoto. For the Paris coach it shows that there is no great interest in exhausting these players, wanting to keep them for next week in view of the shock against Bayern. A match that will be mandatory to win. This will allow Perle Morroni to return to the front of the field, supported by a central hinge, composed by Boquete, Cruz, Andonova and Formiga. The debates clearly give the advantage to the Parisian club, which offers a constant recrudescence in the match in its rhythm of play. This allows Paris to find the flaw, from the 16th minute on a millimeter service Cruz in favor of Morroni, who pierces the Munich net (as a sign) with a nice cross shot of the left foot 1-0.

A goal that will not tarnish the combativeness of Soyaux, who press to return to his opponent, with much conviction in the image of Pamela Babinga who is not afraid of contact. For some Parisian, the duel is also an opportunity to recover confidence on their desire to score and their ambition to seek this qualification in the Champions League. Like Veronica Boquete, who was the worst in the first leg against Bayern, having known the club the previous season. The Spanish will be eager to work on the ground to demonstrate another image before the fateful deadline, which is approaching. Cristiane just as much, tries to force the Sojaldic lock, on this powerful strike in the 27th minute, without success. Soyaux tries to react with his duo Babinga / Bourgouin tip but the players face a red wall, which annihilates these opportunities. As when Bourgouin (29 ') tries to pass the ball to Babinga, which will be intercepted by George. It is difficult to build for the club charentais well marked by Paris in its deployment. Andonova (32 ') had the opportunity to double the PSG bet, but his lobe attempt on Munich will be saved by Boudaud on the line.

Soyaux does not have a say

The Sojaldician game lacks rhythm, speed in its sequences and offensive solutions, marked relentlessly by the Parisian women, who leave almost no gap to return to the score. But for Paris, weaknesses are also visible, with a game that lacks fluidity in the transmissions and minutia in the construction of the game. Macedonian Andonova becomes a real poison for the team of Soyaux on the left corridor, forming a very strong duo with Boquete. The new winter rookie of PSG, had a hard time integrating the rhythm of the French championship. Which looks a lot different in this game. A player who could, with this game, make the difference against Bayern, but the neo-Parisian can not play the Champions League after playing this competition with FC Rosengard early in the season. What deprives it of this European Cup with the PSG. Just before the break, Cristiane misses the double, when his free kick well brushed left foot flirts with the skylight of Munich (45 '). Despite this short advantage in the score, the first half could have been more full-bodied for Paris, but Soyaux was able to stand together, without getting stuck in his defense. Playing the PSG, which had a hard time getting rid of.

A difficult position

The pace will go more beautiful in the second half of the match, but without giving more ease to Paris, who face a team of Soyaux well in place, with Boudaud and Viana who ensure the back. Or Babinga and Clerac attack that continue to create the animation to avoid being trapped in a false rhythm and cash more goals. The real revelation of the match will undoubtedly be attributed to the 18-year-old player, Julie Thibaud, who performs a good performance overall, active, moving, in contact and even saving the ball 3-0 in the rest of the game. meet.

Restore confidence before the Champions League

Before that, the situation will be difficult for PSG, when an inappropriate gesture, Shirley Cruz on Laura Bourgouin, will see the expulsion of the Parisian in the 53rd minute of the match. A key moment, which could have benefited Soyaux to return to the score, but the PSG will not seem more weakened than that, in the possession of the ball and the construction of his game. The players of Patrice Lair continue to go from there. before, without relaxing. At the hour of play, it is a powerful shot of Andonova (60 ') that will startle the audience, slamming the cross of Soyaux. It remains very difficult for the Charente team to find concrete solutions to convert the determination that is put in this match, in goal. Pamela Babinga alone in the lead is very difficult to find, also going back and forth to defend with these teammates. Some changes occur in the meantime, including that of Anissa Lahmari dismissed in recent weeks of the group. A player who will quickly demonstrate her potential. Marie-Laure Delie (80 ') also has an opportunity, but the player misses the frame of little on a head-to-head with Munich, just minutes from the end of the match. While we thought the score frozen at 1-0, Anissa Lahmari (87 ') will come to add the second goal in Paris, on a splendid shot that ends in the skylight 2-0!

The match was hard for PSG, which had to work hard to gain the upper hand against a homogeneous Sojaldician team and which shows very good playing qualities. The Parisiennes are turned to the shock of Wednesday, at the Parc des Princes, against Bayern for the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
