At the end of 90 minutes rather messy, the PSG Farid Benstiti has won against the Roche-sur-Yon and quietly continues his way to the podium. If the absence of Caroline Seger in the midfield was clearly felt, we note the return of Kheira Hamraoui and Kosovare Asllani in the starting 11. Good news before the Champions League?
A winner, not very inspired
If we base ourselves on the final score, this victory is without appeal and yet, it will have taken 45 minutes to PSG to find. The 1st period looks like to be misunderstood by this Parisian team whose social networks love to talk: it's slow, it's rough, it's not very daring and when it's over at the back of the net, it's thanks to luck and not really to the technique.
La Roche-sur-Yon can attest, after 20 minutes of play, everything seemed still possible. Aligned well in defense and in the middle of the field, the players of Malika Bousseau were waiting for a good opportunity to play the counterattack and take a backhand opponent lacking creativity.
4 days before the UEFA Women's Champions League match against Orebrö, did Farid Benstiti's players really have the body and spirit in Vendée? Hard to say ... Once again, it was the foreign strikers who showed themselves the most skilled in front of the cages and that could suggest a non-tenure of Marie-Laure Delie, not really in the game this afternoon.
Another disappointment, the Brazilian Cristiane who contrary to her habit since his arrival in D1 female was very discreet around the cages of the opponents.
On the side of the ESOF, we will remember this beautiful lobed head that allowed to return to the game for a few minutes. Unfortunately, as often for the promoted, the last 10 minutes were fatal. Even if the delivered delivery was correct, it must be confessed between these two teams, there is a gap of level ...
Final score: 1 - 5 (0-2)
PSG goals: Asllani 24 ', Erika 43', Mittag 81 'and Horan 84' and 87 '
