For this staggering match of the 17th day, PSG beat the En Avant Guingamp on the score of 6 to 0. A success acquired at half-time (2-0) in a match where Paris showed two faces: effective in the first half and more attractive in the second half. Enough to satisfy the players and the coach just days before the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against FC Barcelona.

A success acquired in 20 minutes
During the first act, we were able to attend a meeting that was played on a false rhythm, neither of the two teams seem to want to engage. A logical will from the Guingamp players who came to the capital with a rejuvenated group, to overcome the absences in the Breton workforce. A choice also to put on the account of the low stake represented by this match for the players of Sarah M'Barek in the optics of maintaining within the elite.

The first significant action is the work of Lisa Dahlkvist Parisian side. In the 7th minute, the Swedish player shot a shot at the entrance of the 16 meters that passes flush with the left post of Maryne Guignoux. Lisa Dahlkvist, who will open the scoring five minutes later (12th). On a cross from the right, she takes the ball from the head, lonely to the second post. Her crossed head leaves no chance to the Breton goalkeeper and ends in the small right net of the En Avant.

Paris will double the bet in the 19th minute on penalty by Sabrina Delannoy. After a long ball, the Parisian Cristiane tries to take the ball that is voluntarily countered by a Guingampan defender to duel with Cristiane, the referee whistles the penalty.

This advantage acquired, the pace of the match will drop a little more. The Parisiennes will manage the end of the first period, with some actions through Cristiane, but without great danger for Maryne Gignoux. The Guingampaises will have the opportunity to return to the match in the 42nd minute. On a counter, Faustine Robert starts from the right side, an acceleration on almost 40 meters that she will pay at the end of the race lacking lucidity to adjust her delivery to Oparanozie alone in the Parisian area.

A second half more consistent for PSG
The second period is richer for the Paris team. A smoother game and side combinations that allow PSG to make a difference. Witness this action in the 47th minute, where Cristiane fixed the Guingampaise defense right side and serves Jessica Houara who sent a center-line for Rosana who scored the third goal in Paris. Rosana who will score a second goal in the 85th minute on a center left side of the Nigerian Ebere Ngozi.

Combinations and rhythm, we saw a little more in the second half of the Parisian side. An impression of control that was felt at the end of the meeting, especially because of the tiredness of the young Guingampaise team. A situation where Parisian women had "more space" and therefore "more facility to find solutions" as Sabrina Delannoy pointed out after the meeting.

An end of the match where the substitutes continued on this momentum. Shirley Cruz, Anja Mittag and Kenza Dali entered in the second half and were incisive in the attack and decisive in the case of Shirley Cruz, who scored the last goal in Paris (92) and delivered a decisive pass late in the game combining perfectly with Marie-Laure Delie, also a scorer (89th) in the middle of a Breton defense breathless end of the game.

A second period that translates the demand side of Paris to raise the level of play to a few days of the Champions League. As emphasized by Farid Benstiti, it was a question of "not being content" with the result but of trying to "find pleasure in playing together", which he believes is a progression in the game. A satisfying second half for from this point of view, highlighting the good entry of Kenza Dali, who showed his willingness to be quickly decisive for his second match since his return from injury.
