The poster of this 19th day of D1 saw PSG and OM clash. A relocated meeting at Stade Jean-Bouin, which saw Paris Saint-Germain logically win 4-0 against the red lantern of the championship. A precious success that allows the players of Patrice Lair to take the second place in front of the MHSC, held in check 0-0 on the lawn of Bordeaux.


For this meeting against Olympique Marseille, Patrice Lair chose to evolve in 4-4-2, with an axial midfield composed of Andrine Hegerberg and Grace Geyoro. Then, left side Sandy Baltimore and right Kadidiatou Diani have come to bring the overdriven attack next to the duo Delie-Katoto.


Katoto, always decisive!


An organization on the field, added to the possession of Parisian ball, which gives a concentration of the game in the part of ground of the Marseillaises. Very quickly PSG carries its first accelerations, and creates its first opportunities as this shot from outside the foot of Marie-Laure Delie, which is not enough support to worry Genevieve Richard.

Despite some inaccuracies in the last passes, the Parisian domination is concretized at the approach of the 20th minute, with the opening of the score of Marie Antoinette Katoto. A long cross of Eve Périsset finds Marie-Laure Delie in the depth. Back to the goal, the Paris striker manages to turn around and triggers a shot from the left which, touched by Genevieve Richard, hits the corner of the right side of the Olympian goal. The balloon comes out, but Marie-Antoinette Katoto emerges to push the ball to the bottom of the empty goal (19th).

Paris-Saint Germain will not be far from the break by Grace Geyoro (26th) or Delie (36th), but the Canadian goalkeeper of the OM intervenes each time.


Goal refused for Gadea, Paris drives the point


Unable to project themselves into the Parisian camp by bullets, the Marseillaises find solutions through long balloons. An option that does not go far to pay, since on a long ball of Caroline Pizzala, Kelly Gadea gets to lob Katarzyna Kiedrzynek a sublime head (40th). But the goal of the equalizer is denied him for an offside position.

A blow for Marseille who thought he could revive, and the players Phocéennes will concede a second goal before the break. Kadidiatou Diani places a first-strike shot that goes to Richard's left corner (44 '). Once again decisive, we find Marie-Antoinette Katoto on this action delivering a center back, last pass to her teammate.


Hegerberg shakes the cross


At the return of the locker room, the face of the meeting remains the same and the PSG prints the pace. Andrine Hegerberg will not go far from registering his first goal under his new colors. The Norwegian midfielder triggers a shot from the left of the twenty meters that comes to find the underside of the cross before coming out.

At the hour of play, Marseille tries to give more currency, especially in the duels, but this will not be enough to carry the danger on the goal of Kiedrzynek. Especially since at the other end of the field, Amandine Soulard concedes a penalty, which Katoto easily transforms from a counter-foot (64th).

Olympian side, Christophe Parra tries everything for the whole with additional offensive contributions, Fanndis Fridriksdottir and Sandrine Brétigny. But, it remains too feverish to reverse the trend. Especially since the club of the capital will score a new goal. Jennifer Hermoso cuts perfectly at the first post a center sent by Laure Boulleau left side. The ball will finish its race in the small opposite net (88th). Last to be registered in this part, the fourth goal of Paris intervenes while Marseille finishes the meeting at ten, after the exit on injury Maëlle Lakrar (82).


The race for Europe relaunched, Marseille dark towards the D2


A good opener for Paris Saint-Germain, who after a day's loss from second place after losing 3-0 in Montpellier, regains his status as dolphin behind OL. The race for Europe is once again revived with now the PSG which has the cards in hand again.

On the other hand, for the Olympique de Marseille things get complicated, and the D2 is getting closer. OM is 5 points behind Albi, and has a difficult schedule including a trip to the ogre Lyon, and a final match in Guingamp will be the last match of Sarah M'Barek at the head of the Breton club.

Irene Paredes (PSG): "We must have respect for all teams"

Christophe Parra (OM): "The girls have proudly and proudly represented Olympique de Marseille"
