"Paris" - ZhFK "Kryvbas" 4:0

Kryvyi Rih FC "Kryvbas" held its debut historic match in the Champions League. Today, in the semifinals of the first stage of the qualifying round, our team lost to the bronze medalist of the French championship - "Paris".

The red-white team started the match against a well-known opponent calmly. Yes, neither ball control nor attack was given for quite a long time, but overall the team looked coherent in the debut and did not allow the opponents to create chances near their own goal. Unfortunately, we conceded in the middle of the half. But they missed it after their own gross mistake.

"Kryvbas" earned a standard on the right flank. There was a not quite successful pass, an interception and a quick counterattack from the French girls two on one. Dufour was brought to an ideal position for an accurate shot and she did not miss - 1:0. After that, the nominal hostesses began to act even more loosely, and it was very difficult for our girls until the break.

Be that as it may, the intrigue remained until the break. But at the beginning of the second half, two "quick" goals of "Paris" made the chances of "Kryvbas" for the final of the first stage illusory. The same Dufour first put the ball with a round shot into the back nine without a chance for Kelyuszyk - 2:0. And then she locked the transmission from the right flank - 3:0. In response, our team managed to carry out several attacks, but at least it did not come to a blow.

Instead, the experienced rivals scored the fourth time. After the corner, Koroshets turned out to be the most agile in our penalty area - 4:0. In response, the red-whites once again made several promising attacks, but, unfortunately, without a goal. Let's note the debut for Kryvbas Coulibaly, who, by the way, actively entered the game and stopped several flanking passes of the French women.

"Kryvbas" lost to "Paris" not without a struggle, and on September 9 at 20:00 they will immediately play in the match for the third place against the hosts of the round - "Linköping", which previously lost to "Arsenal" - 0:3. Thanks to our team for their dedication!
