News

The France Women's national team including Paris Saint-Germain's Perle Morroni, Sandy Baltimore, Grace Geyoro, Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto came out as 3-1 winners over England on Friday 9 April in a friendly at the Stade Michel d’Ornano in Caen.

The five Rouge et Bleu players started the match, an opportunity for them to show their impact on the game. From a counter that Katoto started, Diani found Baltimore who scored with an excellent left-footed strike to pick up her second international goal in just her fourth cap and first start for her national side. Towards the end of the match, Diani secured a second assist of the evening when she found Katoto in the box, and the latter made no mistake and made it three goals for Les Bleues.
