PSG dominates Ajax Amsterdam and sees qualification

The coin may be tipping the right way. With one day remaining, Paris Saint-Germain took first place in their Champions League group by logically beating Ajax Amsterdam at the Parc des Princes (3-1), Wednesday January 24. A third success in a row which bears the mark of Marie-Antoinette Katoto, author of a double.

Always sharper as the matches follow one another, the attacker – long unavailable due to a serious knee injury – first opened the scoring with an acrobatic gesture of which only she has the secret (7th), before to win her duel with facing the opposing goalkeeper on a deep service from Grace Geyoro (25th).

Paris has come a long way in this group

“MAK” even came close to a hat-trick on a dangerous cross from Tabitha Chawinga, but it was ultimately her compatriot in the middle who scored the third goal, two favorable counterattacks later (40th). Enough to give PSG a break in the lead, while Romée Leuchter managed to reduce the score with a well-placed shot, after Jade Le Guilly (31st) lost the ball.

With the draw between Bayern Munich and AS Roma earlier in the evening (2-2), Jocelyn Prêcheur’s players will only need a small point next Tuesday against the Germans to secure a place in the quarter-finals. A scenario that would have been hard to imagine on the evening of the second day, when Paris was still stuck at zero after two defeats.
