"It took five to ten minutes to get into the game and then the machine ran well."
Didier Ollé-Nicolle perfectly summed up, at the microphone of Canal +, the scenario of this Sunday derby won by his team, PSG, now only second behind OL in the D1 Women's standings.
The champions of France ended up taking the measure of Paris FC, which had conceded only one goal and remained on three successes in three meetings before this short trip to the camp of the Lodges.
Under the sun of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the Parisiennes experienced a moment of hesitation to start this derby. Without a return in extremis from Sakina Karchaoui (9th), PSG could well have conceded its first goal of the season. On the next action, goalkeeper Stéphanie Labbé was saved by her post. The result has become more radiant, especially for Marie-Antoinette Katoto, who offers herself a brace (18th, 26th) on assists from captain Grace Geyoro and left side Karchaoui, effective since the start of the season.
This brings Katoto's total to three D1 goals.
She joins the Lyonnaises Signe Bruun, Catarina Macario and Melvine Malard at the top of the scorers' standings.
Just before the break, Kadidiatou Diani (43rd) worsened the gap in favor of PSG.
The meeting was folded and Didier Ollé-Nicolle then lived a second, quieter period.
On penalty, specialist Sara Däbritz scored 4-0 (59th).

In anticipation of a busy schedule with the arrival of the group stage of the Champions League, the Parisian staff was able to manage their troops and involve five players coming off the bench.
In the middle of the field, the young Léa Khelifi, 22, loaned to Dijon last season, could well have scored on a malicious strike at the entrance to the surface, luckily diverted by the goalkeeper Nnadozie.
But the essential is assured with this fourth success in a row.
Despite four goals scored, PSG remains behind Lyon in the standings (+ 12 against + 19 on goal difference).
Next meeting: next Sunday, still at the Loges camp against Guingamp, 8th in the championship.
The eleven of the PSG:
Labbé - Lawrence, Ilestedt, Dudek, Karchaoui (Cascarino, 67th) - Däbritz (Diallo, 67th), Geyoro (cap.) (Khelifi, 57th), Hamaraoui - Diani (Bachmann, 74th), Katoto (Huitema , 57th), Baltimore.
