First success of the season in the Champions League for the Paris Saint-Germain players who won this Thursday at home against AS Roma (2-1).
It’s a success that feels good and restarts everything. Last in their Champions League group after conceding two defeats in their first two matches, the Paris Saint-Germain players stopped the bleeding and offered themselves a first success Thursday evening, on the occasion of the reception of AS Roma (2-1). If they remain last in Group C, Grace Geyoro’s teammates are two points behind the leader, Bayern Munich.
Dominant during the first act, the Parisiennes shot twice as much as their opponents and it was almost logical that Grace Geyoro opened the scoring just before the break, with a well-taken penalty (1-0, 45th). Back on the pitch after the break, PSG did not wait to double the lead. On a pass from the untenable Geyoro, Marie-Antoinette Katoto found the fault in the Roman defense (2-0, 46th).
Paris resisted
And then it was Roma who woke up. Following a handball from Claire Hunt, Manuela Giugliano obtained a penalty which Katarzyna Kiedrzynek deflected (54th). Determined, the visitors finally reduced the score four minutes later with a goal from Valentina Giacenti (2-1, 58th). Under pressure in the last quarter of an hour, PSG folded without breaking. Enough to validate this victory which is so precious for the future.
