At the end of a completely crazy 100% Ile-de-France duel at the Parc des Princes, it was the PSG players who snatched the first ticket for the first playoff final in the history of the French women’s championship. Trailing at half-time by one goal due to a restart error by Polish goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek exploited by PFC number 10, Clara Mateo (0-1, 36th), the Parisiennes rectified the situation in the second half-time thanks to Marie-Antoinette Katoto. The Blue attacker started the second half thinking of equalizing. But in an illegal position, VAR (used for the first time in D1 Arkema) canceled the 25-year-old player’s goal. We had to wait for a penalty converted by Grace Geyoro (1-1, 52nd) to see PSG equalize before Daphne Corboz gave Paris FC the advantage (1-2, 56th).

In a second period where opportunities kept coming from both sides, Marie-Antoinette Katoto managed to equalize (2-2, 72nd). The PSG players accelerated at the end of the match but came across a heroic PFC goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, making a series of saves, including a masterful double save in the final seconds. Back to back, the two teams were decided in a penalty shootout. Katarzyna Kiedrzynek’s save on PFC’s second shot on goal was decisive. The PSG goalkeeper sent hers to the final (2-2, 5-4 tab). However, the PFC players will still have the small final to play to try to qualify for the Champions League. Tomorrow, the Lyonnaises, first in the regular phase, will face Stade de Reims, the surprise guest of these playoffs, at Parc OL at 5:00 p.m.
