Guingamp (France) (AFP)

The girls of Olympique Lyonnais have logically won Saturday at Guingamp the first Trophy of Champions against their favorite victims of Paris SG, but they have held up well and held until the test of penalties (1-1 , 4 tab to 3).

Under the eyes of Noël Le Graët, the president of the FFF, and Jean-Michel Aulas, the first manager of a big French club to have invested seriously in women's football, OL did not force in the beginning of match but still opened the scoring with a superb goal from his attacker Amel Majri.

Well launched in the Parisian area by Ada Hegerberg, Majri, in pivot, at the corner of six meters, was able to adjust a brushed shot in full skylight, left, on which Christiane Endler had to admit defeated (31).

Ten minutes later, the PSG was rewarded for its intelligent resistance when Amandine Henry, on a bad raise, offered on a plateau the ball of the equalizer to Nadia Nadim, happy to be able to push the ball in the back of the net. Sarah Bouhaddi, the guardian of the Blue (42).

Hegerberg, the Norwegian Golden Ball, then had the ball 2-1 at the end of the foot, on a Paris misunderstanding, but his close shot was pushed back by the left arm of Endler (45 + 1). The same Endler was again in evidence, as soon as the restart, dismissing a free kick from Majri who took the path to the skylight (49).

It was not until the hour of play that the local heroine, Eugénie Le Sommer, finally make her Breton fans vibrate on a nice shot to the ground well repulsed by Endler (61), just like the almost identical shot of Dzsenifer Marozsan (62), well served by Le Sommer.

- Decisive Bouhaddi -

Enough to awaken the enthusiasm of the 12,558 spectators announced by the FFF, at tea time. Including a Parisian contingent shirtless, few but boosted by the good resistance of its players against the high-end workforce of OL Feminine.

Olivier Echouafni's Parisians have become more confident and dangerous more often than ever, as on a Hanna Glas center stretched too far for Marie-Antoinette Katoto (74), D1's top scorer last season (22 goals). ).

The Sommer then missed a semi-volley recovery (78), rejected by Endler, then Ashley Lawrence, who had just come into play for PSG, overflowed but shot close (87). It was therefore going to have to go through the lottery of penalties.

The shot of Katoto repulsed by Bouhaddi, then the shot of Le Sommer on the left post of Endler, the suspense then lasted until the last attempt of the series: the shot of Grace Geyoro was diverted by Bouhaddi, decisive, and OL won a new trophy.

"We work every day to get to their level," said PSG captain Irene Paredes. This Saturday at Guingamp, it was the case for a little over 90 minutes. Little consolation.
