After opening the score through Kylian Mbappé from the penalty spot, PSG failed defensively on Losc’s final attacks and conceded the equalizing goal in the 93rd minute, Sunday evening (1-1).
Leader of Ligue 1, PSG failed to take seven and nine points respectively over OGC Nice and AS Monaco, pursuers who lost on this 16th day. Luis Enrique’s men, not very brilliant offensively four days after their qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League in Dortmund (1-1), opened the scoring after the hour mark. A foul on Lucas Hernandez allowed Kylian Mbappé to score from the penalty spot (66th). The captain of the Blues did not celebrate his 16th goal in the championship, as if to demonstrate his apparent frustration at the moment…

That’s not all, then. The Parisians then lacked control and above all displayed terrible defensive fragility. Rémy Cabella (71st) and Jonathan David (81st) were thrown into the game to wake up the Mastiffs. The Canadian striker fell on Arnau Tenas in added time (92nd) but equalized in the following minute (93rd).
In this outcome which ignited the Stade Pierre-Mauroy and dismayed the Parisian followers, Marco Asensio lost the ball, Milan Skriniar was afraid to block a shot from Adam Ounas and Marquinhos let David score with a header… That’s a lot for this defensive sector, in particular the central hinge, which is of great concern before the rest of the season…
PSG are five points ahead of Nice before concluding the first leg against Metz next Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. Lille took advantage of this to maintain 4th place ahead of Stade Brestois and with two points more than OM.
