Paris Saint-Germain Women

Match report

Paris Saint-Germain women came away with a 1-0 victory over Nantes in the third round of the Women's Division 1 at Stade Georges Lefèvre on Friday evening. The result keeps PSG unbeaten after two opening matches while Nantes remain winless, having dropped a point against Fleury 91 before this defeat.

Things turned sour for PSG in the 52nd minute when M. Lafontaine picked up a second yellow card and was sent off. The midfielder had already been booked at the start of the half, and the early card from referee C. Brackman at the break meant she was on thin ice. Nantes took the opportunity to press, but PSG's back line stood firm despite heading into the final quarter of an hour with ten players.

Substitutions began almost immediately after the dismissal. Wu Chengshu replaced Brackman for Nantes in the 53rd minute, while R. Leuchter came on for J. Le Guilly shortly after. PSG responded with E. Buabadi in the 67th minute and Yaya in the 74th, reshaping their approach to see out the game.

The decisive moment arrived in stoppage time. In the 90+7th minute, M. Kanjinga found space to slot home what proved to be the winner. Nantes had seen off J. Mossard with a yellow card in the 83rd minute but could not find an equaliser despite pushing forward in the dying stages.

The result puts PSG second on six points from two games, having won both matches so far. Nantes sit ninth with just one point from two outings, a result that leaves them three points adrift of safety. The hosts had already beaten Strasbourg and Lens 2-0 each, while Nantes could only manage a 1-1 draw with Fleury before this loss.
