Paris Saint-Germain ran out 1-0 winners over West Ham United in the semi-finals of the Perth International Football Cup today and will now face Manchester City in this Sunday’s final as part of their summer tour of Australia.
As their Australian tour gets into full swing with its various activations and trips, Les Parisiennes haven't forgotten to prepare for the season ahead by putting their intense training sessions to good use in matches.
Fabrice Abriel's players crossed paths with their West Ham United counterparts in the semi-finals of the Perth International Football Cup today at HBF Park, where they looked to rebuild their chemistry and to keep gaining momentum.
Having recorded a 4-0 win over Le Havre in Poissy shortly before taking off for Australia, Les Rouge et Bleu went a step further to perfecting their preparations 'down under' today, with the capital club's new Dutch signing, Romée Leuchter, scoring the only goal of the game to continue her strong pre-season so far.
Fresh from bagging herself a hat trick against Le Havre, Leuchter opened the scoring in the 23rd minute of the match in Perth after being played in perfectly by another new recruit, Jennifer Echegini, and winning her one-v.-one with Hammers keeper Kinga Szemik, who was left bamboozled by a fine shot that flew in under the crossbar.

On the hour mark, Abriel changed virtually his entire XI in order to share the minutes out among his players and to keep the intensity up, which ended up leading Les Parisiennes all the way to Sunday's final against Manchester City, which is set to kick off at 11:05 CET.
As a reminder, the final of the 2024 Perth International Football Cup will be broadcast live and in full on PSG TV Premium.
