Final: Goal by Lieke Martens
Lieke Martens opens the scoring with a cross shot while Paris has been playing at 10 for a few minutes!
Favorites, the Parisiennes struggled for a long time against a Fleury team in place on Saturday, before taking the advantage in numerical inferiority as the last quarter of an hour approached.
A great way to treat your spleen. Paris Saint-Germain won the Coupe de France on Saturday May 4, thanks to their narrow victory in the final against an eye-catching Fleury team (1-0). With this title, the capital club is moving forward, a week after failing to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League against Lyon. Deprived of Marie-Antoinette Katoto at the Mosson stadium in Montpellier, Jocelyn Prêcheur’s players nevertheless scared each other.
We even believed that Fleury was going to achieve the perfect shot for her first at this level of the competition, when the young Parisian Thiniba Samoura was excluded for an avoidable shirt pulling, which earned her her second warning of the day (66th). However, it was in a highlight of the FCF that Lieke Martens took advantage of a bad exit from goalkeeper Manon Heil to open the scoring with a cross shot that Grace Geyoro was unable to deflect (73rd, 1-0 ).
Ideal preparation before the playoffs for PSG
An error paid for in cash by Fabrice Abriel’s daughters, who had perfectly contained their opponents until now. The offensives of PSG Sandy Baltimore and Tabitha Chawinga – recently elected player of the season in D1 Arkema – only rarely stood out, leaving the initiative of the game to Sakina Karchaoui, close to provoking an own goal from Chantelle Swaby at the start of the game (6th).
With this fourth trophy in the competition (2010, 2018, 2022), PSG is taking the opportunity to best prepare for the playoffs of the French championship. The Rouge et Bleue will challenge Paris FC in a new Ile-de-France derby in the semi-finals on May 11. For his part, Fleury will try to maintain his 4th place in the standings on the final day, Wednesday, to join OL in the last four.
