Paris Saint-Germain will play Manchester City in the Perth International Cup final after victory over West Ham United.
PSG began strongly, as Kinga Szemik was forced to save from Romée Leuchter and Anaïs Ebayilin flicked on a header which was deflected behind.
Paris took the lead midway through the half, Leuchter collecting a defense-splitting pass from Jennifer Echegini and firing past the goalkeeper.
Shelina Zadorsky set up a great chance with a cross to the near post but Viviane Asseyi headed the wrong side of the upright from close range.
Echegini was one of those to bring a save out of Szemik after the restart, Grace Geyoro went closer when striking the top of the post.

Asseyi failed to really test Mary Earps with a chance from the edge of the area, PSG’s Marie-Antoinette Katoto somehow failed to find the back of a gaping net in added time.
