After opening Lyon, Soyaux received a second team of "Big 4" on the lawn of the Camille Lebon stadium. But since the first day, and 9-0 inflicted by the OL, Soyaux seems to have come a long way with benefits of good quality and especially a capacity to come from behind as last week against Bordeaux. The task promised to be much more difficult against Paris Saint-Germain.

A match that was played without some of the usual holders with Grace Geyoro (PSG) and Anna Clérac (Soyaux) parties to the World Cup U20 and Marie Antoinette Katoto, injured when she was also to participate in the World Under-20 years.

The start of the match is to the advantage of Parisiennes with a first header of Ouleymata Sarr (3rd) missing the frame. A few minutes later, Sarr tries his luck again after a first strike by Vero Boquete but his shot is deflected by Romane Munich (10th).

Paris hits first, but the Bourgouin-Babinga duo is also a bit of a challenge for the Parisian defense, a sign that Soyaux intends to beat the odds, and why not score a first goal for the Parisian defense this season. In the 18th minute, it is Cristiane who gets close to the goalie but Madison Krauser intervenes in front of the Brazilian striker.

Cristiane on the lookout
But in the 29th minute, Cristiane will not find anyone on his way to the net. Initially, Shirley Cruz throws Eve Perisset left side along the surface. Perisset center at the end of the race and Romane Munich diverts the ball at the first post. The defender of the Soyal keeper robs Sarr of the ball, but Cristiane followed and can send the ball to the back of the net.

Before the break, Soyaux is close to equalizing on a shot from Pamela Babinga from the right side and who comes close to the skylight, on this attempt lobed shot (38th). Moments later, Laura Bougoin jokes her namesake Laura Georges on the left and finally manages to center on Viviane Boudaud. His strike is pushed back by Katarzyna Kiedrzynek. Again, the equalizer was not far and Soyaux continues to project to try the equalizer before the end of the first half. PSG, draft in his game is not yet immune.

At the return of the locker room, the intensity of the match increases, and it is the PSG who leads the dance. In the first minutes, Laura Bourgouin, Pamela Babinga and Viviane Boudaud are struggling to find each other.

We feel the Charente attackers frustrated at this time of the match, but Viviane Boudaud has a first chance in the 53rd minute, but too far from the frame. On the hour of play, Paris is in position to double the bet on a free-kick of Cristiane but no player manages to cut the ball that passes close to the second post.

Winning comeback for Marie-Laure Delie
A few minutes later, while the Parisian advantage seems more and more fragile, the PSG players take shelter again thanks to Cristiane. Served by Marie-Laure Delie, coming into play in the place of Aminata Diallo, Cristiane sets Marie Aurelle Awona to 18 meters and places a shot that lober Romane Munich and ends under the crossbar (68th).

Following the second goal in Paris, the match now seems out of reach of Soyaux. Charente players who are still trying to return to the score, with some situations in the last ten minutes including a shot by Cynthia Viana turned to corner by Kiedrzynek (84). The displacements of the Parisian players, and especially the defenders embarrass the Soldjaciennes who do not find their rhythm in this end of the match.

Despite two other situations late in the game on the corner, Soyaux can not reduce the mark. A victory that allows PSG to stay in the same tempo as the leader of Lyon but also with a seventh match without conceding goals. Without being brilliant, Paris has assured the essential before a long trip for his eighth-final go in the Champions League.
