With Jackie Groenen in the starting line-up, Paris Saint-Germain has won again in the French league after two games without a win. The Parisians took three much-needed points at Dijon (0-4), after nine were taken away as a penalty by the French Football Association.
PSG was punished because Canadian acquisition Florianne Jourde was drafted several times before she was eligible to play in France. According to the club, it was only an administrative delay and everything has now been approved, but the French association was unrelenting and took away the points from three league games won.
As a result, PSG has dropped from second to fifth place. At the end of the season, the top four play-offs play for the national title. When visiting Dijon, PSG fought off the bad news with a big victory.
Orange international Groenen, who seemed to have lost her starting place before the winter break, was allowed to start again and played for more than eighty minutes. Romée Leuchter was not in the match selection due to a minor injury.
Lyonnes wins, Yohannes scores
OL Lyonnes remains by far the leader in the French league. Dutch midfielder Damaris Egurrola was missing on Wednesday evening against Lens, which was defeated 1-0 by a goal by ex-Ajax player Lily Yohannes.
In the Spanish league, Esmee Brugts was accurate for the second time in five days for the all-powerful FC Barcelona, which won 5-0 against Atlético Madrid.
Last Saturday the winger also scored in the 12-1 win over Madrid CFF, and on Wednesday evening he scored again. Brugts came forward as a left back, picked up the ball outside the box and after a dribble found the far corner for the 3-0.
