Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie delivered a historic performance on Saturday night, guiding Paris FC to their first-ever Coupe de France Féminine title with a dramatic 5-3 penalty shootout victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), following a goalless draw at the Stade de l’Epopée in Calais.

 

The Super Falcons’ number one once again proved why she’s regarded as one of the world’s finest goalkeepers, saving two decisive penalties in the shootout to hand her side a memorable win over their city rivals.

 

Both teams were inseparable during regulation time, with chances on either side but no breakthrough in 90 minutes. As the match headed into penalties, all eyes turned to the goalkeepers — and Nnadozie rose to the occasion.

 

With both sides converting their first three spot-kicks, Nnadozie denied PSG’s Korbin Albert to swing momentum in Paris FC’s favor. After her teammates calmly converted, the Nigerian shot-stopper again stepped up, saving PSG’s final attempt from Jade de Guilly, sparking wild celebrations.

 

The 23-year-old, who joined Paris FC from Nigeria’s Rivers Angels, played the full 90 minutes and capped off her sensational campaign in the tournament with another standout showing.

 

Jennifer Echegini, another Nigerian international, featured for PSG after coming on late in the second half, but it was Nnadozie who stole the spotlight.

 

With this triumph, Paris FC not only lifted their maiden Coupe de France title but also cemented their growing reputation in French women’s football — with Nnadozie firmly at the heart of it.

 

Her heroics in this season’s campaign — including numerous penalty saves and consistent match-winning displays — have helped Paris FC to silverware and back-to-back UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifications.

 

Nnadozie’s legacy continues to grow, and Saturday’s final may go down as one of the defining moments of her career — and of Nigerian goalkeeping excellence on the global stage.
