Some remembered the duel lost by Randal Kolo Muani to Emiliano Martinez in the 123rd minute of the 2022 World Cup final between the France team and Argentina, winner on penalties. At the last minute of Auxerre-PSG added time, Friday, on behalf of the 14th day of Ligue 1, the same French international, launched at goal by Ousmane DembĂ©lĂ© full axis, struck on Donovan LĂ©on, the goalkeeper of the ‘AJA came to meet him (94th). A few moments before the final whistle of this 0-0.

The catastrophic season of “RKM” with the Rouge et Bleu continues. Entering in the 62nd minute in place of Gonçalo Ramos, Kolo Muani once again missed an opportunity to shine. The Portuguese striker made his return to competition a week ago and is already proving more useful at the forefront of the Parisian attack. The former Nantes player has not scored with PSG since September 1 and his entry into play at Lille (1-3). He is now 11 appearances without scoring with his club (he made an assist against Toulouse on November 22).

Kolo Muani on departure

Kolo Muani remains stuck at two goals in Ligue 1 this season (zero in the Champions League) and his future in the French capital is dotted. The former Eintracht Frankfurt prodigy was recruited for 95 million euros on September 1, 2023 but never found his place in Luis Enrique’s possession football, very often playing on a wing under the coach’s orders. Spanish. A departure on loan next January is in the pipeline. With purchase option? This will be interesting to follow…

On the Icaunais side, Donovan Léon not only saved his team in the last moments by winning against Kolo Muani and immediately repelling a strike from Désiré Doué. He made a total of 11 saves in front of the Parisians. He is obviously the man of the match. The 32-year-old Guyanese international goalkeeper spoke after the game live on DAZN 1: “A lot of pride because I am a big PSG fan. There are evenings, it’s like that, we work hard during the week and this evening I am rewarded and so is the whole team.”
