Having defeated Paris Saint-Germain in last season's Challenge de France final with three unanswered goals, defending league and cup champions Olympique Lyonnais dominated an extremely defensive capital side which had to wait until stoppage time to record their only shot of the match.
[3] Goals in each half from Sophie Perrichon and Nora Coton-Pélagie turn the tables on a combative Yzeure side that managed to rescue a point and could have won it in the last-gasp.
[7] Ingrid Boyeldieu's strike midway through the first half equalized the score, but only served as consolation for the capital club against a Condé side which dominated the match from start to finish.
[16] "Les Verts" claimed victory and climbed over PSG in the standings to reach safety in a match which saw Saint-Étienne players Jessica Houara and Kheira Hamraoui being sent-off after an altercation.
[17] Paris Saint-Germain made the trip to Vendenheim with just twelve players and could only save a point thanks to Candice Prévost's fourth goal of the season.
[18] Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning days inspired by Cindy Thomas who netted a hat-trick and laid on a fourth to condemn Condé to a sixth consecutive defeat.
[20] Paris Saint-Germain took the lead through Nora Coton-Pélagie's superb free kick, but "Les Parisiennes" were condemned to a draw against Saint-Brieuc at the Camp des Loges.
[24] After a disappointing campaign marked by numerous injuries and where Paris Saint-Germain finished eighth and was prematurely eliminated from the Challenge de France, Éric Leroy handed over the job to manager Camillo Vaz and assistant coach Karine Noilhan in June 2009.
[27][28] On paper, Paris Saint-Germain was favourite to beat D2 side Le Mans, however they disappointed as the capital club crashed out of the last-32 after being defeated on penalties.
After the break, Nora Coton-Pélagie took advantage of a defensive error and scored the equalizer for "Les Rouge-et-Bleu", which could have won the match if it wasn't for Guilleux's save in a hand-to-hand against Cindy Thomas.
With the final whistle, the penalties had to decide the fate of the game and eventual runners-up Le Mans came out victorious from the shootout as they left Paris Saint-Germain empty handed.
