PSG won this afternoon at Camp des Loges against Rodez. A wide victory by the score with most of the goals scored after the break, after an hour of play where the Ruthenian have offered a good resistance.


How would the players of the PSG react after the summit lost in Lyon? A short defeat (1-0) but synonymous with a gap that now seems difficult to reverse in the title race. Still ahead of Montpellier in the standings, the Parisians now know that the danger is in the rear view mirror, with this second place to preserve even if Montpellier was deprived of ground this weekend following the postponement of the match against Fleury.


Patrice Lair absent on the Parisian bench


As during the trip to Lyon, Paris came this Sunday with a defense to three and two players in the hall with Ashley Lawrence on the left and Grace Geyoro on the right side. On the bench, Patrice Lair was absent for this match. The Paris coach is currently at rest after an operation (planned for a long time) and therefore could not lead his team today.

On the side of Rodez, Gregory Mleko had trusted in the offensive sector to the players who shone against Marseille, Clara Noiran, positioned at the top, Laurie Cance in support in the axis, Flavie Lemaître and Julie Peruzzetto who evolved on the sides . The RAF also offers the first incursion of the match, a quick attack from the kickoff, but without succeeding in turning a real opportunity this first thrill in the Parisian area.

It was then the PSG who quickly took control of the ball, facing a well organized Rodez team with two lines of four, and manages to hinder the progression of the ball on the Parisian attacks. A game that passes a lot by the sides with Geyoro and Lawrence, but at the beginning of the match few opportunities and the few strikes flee the frame or end in the gloves of Déborah Garcia.


A surprise opening


The opening of the Parisian score comes almost by surprise. On a cross coming from the left, Ekaterina Tyryshkina throws herself at the entrance of the six meters and sends the ball in her own goal (23rd). An action that seemed innocuous, while Rodez resists well and did not appear in danger in this first period.

Subsequently, Paris gets more dangerous situations. Erika's header on a corner kicked out by Déborah Garcia (26 '). It is then Aminata Diallo who misses the frame after a combination right side of Paris (38th). Kadidiatou Diani then stumbles on Garcia in the area (42) after a good change of wing Ashley Lawrence. Opportunities that multiply but without feeling a change of tone on the part of Paris struggling to find their way into the defense.


Rodez loses foot in the last half hour


At halftime, Gregory Mleko made the choice to take out Ekaterina Tyryhskina replaced by Élise Bonet. This change does not change the organization of the RAF, especially on the defensive. The blow of club arrives however shortly before the hour of play on corner. On the service of Jennifer Hermoso, a first Parisian head is pushed back on his line by the RAF defense, the ball returns to the feet of Emma Berglund at the far post, and the Swedish defender's shot finds the net (56th ).

This second goal tipped the match, especially as Marie-Antoinette Katoto adds a third a minute later. Following Grace Geyoro's first right-wing cross, Kadidiatou Diani inherited the ball in the left-side surface and served Katoto who scored with the crossbar (57 ').

After the hour, it's Jennifer Hermoso's turn to score her first goal in the colors of PSG. Right side, Kadidiatou Diani manages to overflow and center to Marie Katoto, deprived of the ball on this action by Déborah Garcia. The ball continues its run towards Jennifer Hermoso at the second post which marks, also with the support of the bar (63rd).

This one-way sequence continues with the entries of Marie-Laure Delie and Veronica Boquete. Absent for the trip to Lyon, Delie scored in the 78th minute on a cross from Grace Geyoro right side. The attacker tricolor just cut the trajectory of the ball at the first post and mark on a uncrossed head that ends in the small net opposite.

The good sides of PSG


Decisive player on this action, Grace Geyoro delivered a full match on the right side, in a role she is not used to, even if she has already played on the right side, as in the match against Bordeaux (10th). day) early December. Many races, centers, but also good combinations with Kadidiatou Diani who have regularly allowed to infiltrate the opposing defense.

The corridors that were the strength of PSG in the second half with Ashley Lawrence who again made a full match, but also Laure Boulleau entered for the last ten minutes in place of his Canadian teammate. We find the Paris side on the sixth goal in Paris, Boulleau launched left side found Diani in the area that can deflect the ball in the goal Ruthenian (87th).

Five goals in half an hour in a game that was suddenly unblocked for the PSG which signs today its biggest victory since the beginning of the season. A good way to conclude the year ...
