Match
Summary
In the early stages of the matches, Paris FC threatened first through Clara Matéo and Gaëtane Thiney, whose shot in the 5th minute narrowly missed the post. The early exchanges saw PSG struggle to find rhythm, while the PFC defense held firm. In the 28th minute, Thiney thought she had opened the scoring, but her goal was ruled out for offside. Minutes later, Albert nearly gave PSG the lead but missed the target. PSG gained momentum late in the half, but Leuchter squandered a good chance just before the break. The first half ended goalless.[11]
After the restart, Paris FC came out stronger, testing PSG keeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek multiple times through Bussy and Garbino. PSG responded by introducing Karchaoui and Katoto at the hour mark, and the dynamic shifted. Geyoro missed a one-on-one before Leuchter had a goal disallowed for offside in the 68th minute. Katoto's curling effort went just wide in the 81st minute, and in stoppage time, she missed a golden opportunity to seal victory after Nnazodie misjudged a cross. With the score still 0–0 after 90 minutes, the match went straight to penalties.[11]
In the shootout, Gréboval gave PFC the lead before Matéo hit the bar. Both teams converted their next attempts until Albert's shot was saved by Nnazodie, giving PFC the edge. Le Guilly's decisive effort was stopped again by Nnazodie, handing Paris FC a 5–4 win and their first trophy under the club's new identity.[11]
