The double for the Lyonnaises. Two weeks before the resumption of D1 Arkema and a trip to Reims, the Fenottes won their second Trophée des Champions ahead of Paris Saint-Germain of Gérard Prêcheur (1-0), Sunday evening. A goal from Daniëlle Van de Donk was enough for Sonia Bompastor’s players, who are therefore starting their season with a new national award. We could even talk about a hat-trick, since OL won the championship and the Champions League in 2022.
OL retain their crown. Crowned in 2019 for the first edition of the Trophée des Champions, a competition put on hold for two years due to the Covid, the Lyonnaises beat Paris Saint-Germain. The Marcel-Tribut Stadium in Dunkerque was sold out for this prestigious poster between two teams accustomed to competing in the French championship and in the Champions League. The actions were at the rendezvous, despite the pace of recovery adopted by the two teams, which declined at the end of the meeting.

The rookies played
In legs after their success at the International Women Champions Cup in the United States last week, the Lyonnaises, pragmatic in nature, have a head start in their preparation and proved it against their runners-up. Daniëlle Van de Donk launched the season for Sonia Bompastor players in the first quarter of an hour, the Dutchman taking advantage of a strike from Delphine Cascarino pushed back in the middle by Lydia Williams (1-0, 13th).
It was the only goal scored during regular time in a game that saw a lot of activity on both sides of the field. He lacked a zest of precision for the Parisiennes to get back into the game. Sandy Baltimore heated the gloves of Christiane Edler with a shot from a tight angle (30th) – the only shot on target for the Ile-de-France – before missing two equalizing opportunities (38th, 52nd).
This Trophée des Champions was also an opportunity to witness the first steps of OL and PSG recruits. Neo-Lyonnaise Sara Däbritz, a defector from the Parisian club, played an hour and stood out several times, even if she still lacks rhythm after a grueling Euro which she concluded with a silver medal with Germany.
On the Parisian side, Williams released two parades in front of Ada Hegerberg (51st) and Cascarino (73rd) which somewhat attenuate his mollassonne intervention. She lost on an acrobatic return from Malard, but La Fenotte was offside (16th). Oriane Jean-François (Paris FC) benefited from 84 minutes of playing time in the right lane, while Berglind Thorvaldsdottir (Brann) walked the Dunkirk lawn for half an hour without making a difference.
