Under the deluge, the small final of D1 Arkema was not just a match between two teams disappointed at having lost in the play-off semi-finals. The victory offered the jump to a preliminary round of the Champions League next season. And it was Paris FC who won, after a thrilling match (1-1, 4-2 tab), in front of sparse stands.
Overall, the PFC dominated the meeting. Despite a good start from Rémoises, the biggest opportunity came from a header from Clara Mateo from a corner (20th). Sandrine Soubeyrand’s players had several opportunities to take the advantage (48th, 53rd, 73rd) but faltered in the finish. Until Matéo delivered his own with a magnificent outside right foot into the top corner, following a corner (84th, 1-0). The Champions League was very close, but on the start, Stade de Reims obtained a penalty to offer an end to the match full of twists and turns. The foul of the incoming Kaja Korošec on Charlène Meyong, confirmed by the VAR and validated on the microphone in front of the entire stadium by the referee Victoria Beyer, allowed captain Rachel Corboz to bring the Champagne club back to equal score (87th, 1- 1).
The final victory was not decided by much. Corboz, who had allowed his team to stay alive in regulation time, sent the first shot on goal from Reims above. Then, Monique Ngock did not target her shot. It was ultimately Louna Ribadeira who freed everyone. His converted shot on goal allowed the PFC to win and send their team to the Champions League play-offs. A year later, the club can once again see the group stage.
