Chiamaka Nnadozie Saves Two Penalties As Paris FC Stuns PSG To Win French Cup

‎Nigeria international goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie delivered a heroic performance for Paris FC as they shocked Paris Saint-Germain with a 5-4 victory on penalties to claim the Coupe de France title.

‎With the match ending 0-0 after full time at Stade de l’Epopee in Calais on Saturday, the final was decided by a tense penalty shootout.

‎Chiamaka Nnadozie emerged as the hero for Paris FC, saving penalties from U.S. international Korbin Albert and France’s Jade Le Guilly to secure the club’s second-ever Coupe de France title.

‎Before the shootout, she produced a string of outstanding saves to keep the defending champions at bay.

‎Her performance proved pivotal in ending PSG’s hopes of retaining the trophy.

‎The reigning African Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year has been exceptional this season, keeping 12 clean sheets.

‎Her efforts played a key role in securing Paris FC a UEFA Women’s Champions League spot and a place in the league playoffs.

‎Paris FC no doubt have a weekend to remember after their men’s team returned to the French Ligue after 46 years of absence.

‎The club was recently acquired by the family of French billionaire Bernard Arnault, who has pledged to elevate it into the elite ranks of French and European football.

‎Nnadozie, who is expected to join English top-flight side Everton at the end of the season after five years in France, would be hoping to end the season on a high when her side visits Dijon FC on Wednesday.

‎Her impressive form is a significant boost for Nigeria’s senior women’s national team as they prepare to reclaim the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title in July in Morocco.

‎The Super Falcons are drawn in Group B with Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana, aiming to bounce back from a fourth-place finish in the last edition their worst in tournament history.
