Victory in Paris (3-0)

Nothing could stop the Girondines this afternoon: not the wind, not the rain, and certainly not the sad spectacle of an empty stadium in the Parisian suburbs. This was a crucial game, and Pedro Martinez Losa put on a fantastic performance to breeze past Paris FC. Losa made just one change to last week's starting line-up, with Maëlle Garbino replacing Emelyne Laurent.

The hosts attempted to answer back, but ran into a Bordeaux defence that was seemingly impenetrable. Viviane Asseyi had a decent penalty call denied in the 20th minute, as the Girondines continued to dominate proceedings with a confident collective performance. After some neat build-up play in midfield Delphine Chatelin delivered a perfect cross for Khadija Shaw, who headed home to open the score with her 9th goal of the season (34', 1-0). Bordeaux kept flooding forward and doubled their lead just before the break, with Viviane Asseyi providing the finishing touch to an excellent delivery from Khadija Shaw (2-0, 42'). Paris FC made two attack-minded changes at half time, but still couldn't find a way through the Bordeaux defence. And just as the hosts seemed to be dominating possession and getting closer to the Girondines' goal, a stinging counter-attack made it 3-0 Bordeaux. Breaking free down the left-hand side, Viviane Asseyi swung in a cross which was deflected off a Parisian defender straight into the back of the net (3-0, 73'). Bordeaux return from Paris with 3 points, anothe clean sheet and a provisional third place in the league table (awaiting the result of the postponed Montpellier match). IT'S ALL OVER! VICTORY IN THE CAPITAL! #PFCFCGB pic.twitter.com/c1xQMOErZk — FCGB Féminines (@FCGBWomen) November 23, 2019
