"PSG's Joe Echegini curled an effort against the far post in the second minute, but United gradually grew into the game and after Hinata Miyazawa shot wide, they went ahead through Melvine Malard in the 31st minute. Malard outmuscled Griedge Mbock to reach Jayde Riviere's ball up the right touchline, cut inside, then whipped a fine effort beyond former United goalkeeper Mary Earps."
"PSG got level through a stunning goal of their own three minutes into first-half stoppage time, as Olga Carmona got the ball out of her feet 25 yards out and guided a shot into the top-right corner. PSG again hit the post early in the second half as Safia Middleton-Patel tipped Anais Ebayilin's strike onto the upright, and United took advantage of that reprieve in the 58th minute as Fridolina Rolfo's header capped a flowing move, with Jess Park heavily involved."
"United have won all three of their matches in the Women's Champions League proper, making them the only team in the competition's history to play that many games and retain a 100% win ratio. Skinner's side were arguably slightly fortunate to get the three points, having only attempted 11 shots with an expected goals (xG) value of 0.69, compared to PSG's 1.24 from 14 shots."
Manchester United defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Old Trafford to maintain a perfect start in the Women's Champions League. Melvine Malard put United ahead in the 31st minute after outmuscling Griedge Mbock and finishing from Jayde Riviere's pass. Olga Carmona equalised three minutes into first-half stoppage time with a 25-yard strike into the top-right corner. Fridolina Rolfo headed the winner in the 58th minute following a flowing move involving Jess Park. PSG hit the post twice, had a higher xG (1.24 from 14 shots) but could not convert, leaving United unbeaten.
