They had no room for error. The Parisiennes accomplished their mission on Wednesday December 20, traveling to AS Roma. After restarting the engine against the same Romans last week (2-1), they repeated in Italy with a slightly more convincing success (3-1). Enough to recover second place in group C with now six points on the clock.
While Roma had control of the ball and occupied the Parisian camp, the Rouge et Bleu opened the scoring against the run of play thanks to Tabitha Chawinga (26th). Very restless, the Malawian, top scorer in Serie A last year with Inter Milan, remembered the good memories of the Romans since she then served Marie-Antoinette Katoto on a nice breakthrough for the second goal (67th ). The incoming Korbin Albert then widened the gap (78th), before the Louves revolted on a direct free kick from Manuela Giugliano (88th) which deceived Katarzyna Kiedrzynek, author of five important saves earlier in the game.
At the same time, in Group C, Ajax Amsterdam won against Bayern Munich to take the lead in the group (1-0). It is precisely the Dutch that the Parisiennes will face in a crucial match for qualification for the quarter-finals, on the next day, January 14 at the Parc des Princes.
