Chiamaka Nnadozie Denies PSG with Two Penalty Saves as Paris FC Clinches French Cup Glory

Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie delivered a stunning performance for Paris FC as they pulled off a remarkable victory against Paris Saint-Germain, triumphing 5-4 in a penalty shootout to claim the Coupe de France crown.

After 90 minutes of action at Stade de l’Epopee in Calais on Saturday, the match ended in a scoreless draw, leading to a dramatic penalty shootout to decide the winner.

Nnadozie emerged as the standout star for her side, successfully saving penalties from US international Korbin Albert and French star Jade Le Guilly, securing a rare triumph for Paris FC in the tournament.

Prior to the penalties, the Nigerian international showcased her exceptional talent with a number of remarkable saves, preventing the defending champions from retaining their title.

The reigning African Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year has been in sensational form this season, racking up 12 clean sheets, which played a critical role in earning Paris FC a spot in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and a chance to compete in the league playoffs.

It was undoubtedly a memorable weekend for Paris FC, especially as their men’s team made a long-awaited return to Ligue 1 after a 46-year absence.

The club has recently come under the ownership of the family of French billionaire Bernard Arnault, who have ambitious plans to propel the team into the upper echelons of French and European football.

Nnadozie is set to join Everton in the English top flight at the conclusion of this season after spending five successful years in France. She will be looking to secure a strong finish to the season as her team prepares to face Dijon FC on Wednesday.

This impressive form will also bolster Nigeria’s senior women’s national team as they aim to reclaim the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title when the tournament kicks off in July in Morocco.

The Super Falcons find themselves in Group B alongside Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana, following a disappointing fourth-place finish in the last competition, their poorest performance in the tournament’s history.
