After their unrestricted victory in Albi, 6-0, PSG chained this afternoon against Olympique Marseille, with a short victory 1 to 0. A victory that has struggled to emerge, the Olympians have held the draw to the goal of Marie-Laure Delie in the second half. Back on the meeting.

A balanced start

A match that sounded like a real test for Paris Saint-Germain against Olympique Marseille, a juggernaut of the Ligue 1, promoted in D1 Feminine. A rough start between the two teams at the start of the match, looking on the ground. Marseille pushes but does not worry his opponent, strong in defense, with Paredes and George. The French international will push even Patrice Lair to replace, after a yellow card, a dangerous fault. PSG does not retain his game led by the Latin duo Veronica Boquete / Shirley Cruz. The Spanish will combine in the 24th minute with Katoto in the last meters, but Pauline Peyraud-Magnin vigilante easily retrieves the ball. Four minutes after the rescue, Ouleye Sarr takes the ball from the head, which lobes the goalkeeper from Marseille, but Anaïs M'Bassidjé watches the grain and returns in extremis the ball out of danger.

Paris continues to push in vain, the technical waste is detrimental to the construction of the Paris game, when on the other Viviane Asseyi the new recruit is very lonely on the Marseille side.

At the end of this first period, domination is undoubtedly on the side of PSG, which undergoes the defensive opacity of Marseille to open the scoring. The Olympians manage to maintain the Parisian assault with a good group cohesion and a heroic guardian.

He came close to
The match resumes between the two teams without restraint. Paris returns loaded as ever. Marseille hopes to create the feat by keeping the score null. From the first minutes of play, Marie-Antoinette Katoto uses all her talent to hand the ball to Eve Perisset on the left gap. The international then manages to center in favor of Marie-Laure Delie. The latter managed to take the ball of the head, which defaults the keeper of Marseille, Peyraud-Magnin 1-0! The goal of deliverance for Paris Saint-Germain, who was struggling to find the bottom of Marseille nets. Olympians outside are at a disadvantage and know that we must persevere and continue to repel the attacks of the PSG, even to jostle them in their space of play. Indeed, the Parisian make the efforts to maintain the affronts of the Marseilles women, like that moment when OM manages to surprise the Parisian defense. But the new recruit from the reigning Spanish champion (Athletic Bilbao), Irene Paredes managed to return to his opponent, to clear the danger in touch. But the goal of Katarzyna Kiedrzynek is not immune to a long shot, like that of the former Parisian Charlotte Loze, which passes just above the cross and will have surprised the audience present in numbers . The two coaches of the meeting are both on the lookout, like this moment when Patrice Lair shouts to his players "Show you girls". A message that will be well understood by Parisians, who charge to their opponents. But the experience and the good analysis of the game of the Marseille goalkeeper will make the task difficult in Paris. Peyraud-Magnin will be decisive several times in this game for his team, as during this Parisian incursion on the hour of play and Boquete point blank shot. Where again this new output of the former Lyon, saving for his team. Peyraud-Magnin deflects the ball, returning to Paredes' feet. The Spanish tries a heel, which will be saved by a narrow miss Marseille, on the goal line. Despite its predominance in the possession of the ball, Paris can not find the fault, while annihilating each Marseille attempt. The Marseille coach Christophe Parra, satisfied with the first half, however begins to get impatient when his players spoil opportunities, which could put the score on par. But the PSG team just overhauled, lack of automation in his tactics, which could make him to lead much more widely to score.

A Marseille team that shows great self-sacrifice in this match, to maintain the score and counter the Parisian strikes. The PSG uses every means to double the bet, as during this recovery of the head of Katoto, which takes a center Sabrina Delannoy at the far post. The Parisian however shakes the goalkeeper OM and his goal is invalidated. The dice threw him 15 minutes from the end, when Marseille retrenched in the defensive zone and suffered attacks Paris, like that of Marie-Laure Delie on his recovery of the head, a center Delannoy.

Marseille struggles to mount his block towards the goal, when Paris lacks accuracy in his discounts and his combinations, even in his free kicks or corners. Parisian women are struggling to make themselves available, as Patrice Lair points out, which demands "quality" from his players in their transmission.

By many times the players of Christophe Parra flee a second goal on the line, as five minutes from the end of the game.

The Marseille coach continues to communicate with his players, "keep the space" he launches a few minutes from the end of the match. Patrice Lair on his side is pacing, and asks his players to "calm the game" from the edge of the field. The Parisians keep the ball and circulate it, to wait for the right moment before hitting. But Marseille is apathetic at the end of the meeting, cut in defense. A difficult position, which leaves little space in Paris to register a second goal, but gives him time to orchestrate his actions. Parisians do not communicate enough, which affects their many attempts. Among the promoted, the new recruit Vivianne Asseyi, supported by Cindy Caputo are still very much alone in attack, against the defensive armada PSG.
A short but historic victory for PSG, which gives itself at the same time 3 valuable points for the race in the first place of the championship. Marseille does not have to blush for his performance, which remains a real feat for a promoted. A club, which thus tastes at its first confrontation of the D1, against one of the leaders of this championship (after his draw against another promoted, Bordeaux). A classic that will become "clasico" with time ...
