just after the break gave emotion to the match, but the damaged was done. On their rescheduled match, Paris lost the top spot to Juvisy after suffering a crushing defeat to their arch-rivals and registered their third consecutive match without victory, a streak which coincidentally began after Bompastor and Abily left the club. Juvisy scored early and despite PSG trying to equalize, the "FCFJ" killed off any remaining hope on the second half with two goals in ten minutes. Paris Saint-Germain defeated Montigny by a large margin of goals, retaining the second place. PSG walked over Saint-Brieuc with a crushing victory as Candice Prévost scored a hat-trick. PSG was looking to get back in the fight for the title against Lyon. The match was an opportunity for Lyon to get revenge as PSG had eliminated them in the cup semi-finals a few weeks ago. Both clubs had shared points in their first league match and it seemed to be a very balanced meeting. "Les Parisiennes", however, underperformed and narrowly achieved a scoreless draw against a dominant Lyon. PSG secured a 3rd place finish after their victory over Yzeure. The title, however, was not lost as the capital club looked for a victory and wished both Lyon and Juvisy were defeated. Paris defeated Saint-Étienne at the Camp des Loges, thus concluding an excellent season which saw the club win the Challenge de France and finish in 3rd place. PSG midfielder Élise Bussaglia
