Still, the visitors came close to taking a 19th-minute lead at Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano when Océane Picard's low shot was well saved by goalkeeper Misa Rodríguez. Attacking midfielder Caroline Weir missed a chance to put Madrid ahead from the penalty spot in the 36th after Picard handled a cross."
"Goalkeeper Mylene Chavas, playing against her former club, pushed away the spot kick with both hands. Feller broke Paris' resistance in the 54th when she volleyed in from close range following a fine cross from right back Eva Navarro, who also set up the second goal midway through the second half when her cross led to N'Dongala's own goal from near the penalty spot."
