Attractive on paper, this PSG-Strasbourg has kept all its promises. Great goals, reversals of situations, suspense until the end,… we had a great time at the Parc des Princes this Friday evening. A spectacle despite everything with a bitter taste for the capital club, which goes on to a second draw in a row, thus leaving the possibility for OM and OL to take the lead in the championship at the end of this 8e day of Ligue 1.
However, everything started well for PSG, who entered the game strongly. The very good start to the match for Luis Enrique's men was rewarded by the opener from Bradley Barcola (1-0, 6th), following a one-two with the returning Désiré Doué. Enough to wake up the Alsatians, who made good use of the situations they found, with goals from Panichelli (1-1, 27th) and Moreira (1-2, 41st).
Ahead at the break, Liam Rosenior's squad shut down the Parc des Princes after returning from the locker room thanks to their new serial scorer, Panichelli (1-3, 49th), author of a double. Stung, the European champions quickly responded. A decisive passer on the opening score, Doué was at the origin of the penalty converted by Gonçalo Ramos (2-3, 38th).
Mayulu avoids defeat in Paris
If the Strasbourg players delivered a large part, it was not enough to bring down the European champions, who accelerated to avoid conceding their first defeat of the season at home. In two stages, Mayulu allowed the Rouge et Bleu to equalize (3-3, 80th). The Parisians pushed to snatch the victory, but the visitors were valiant and managed to hold on to this score.
With this draw, Paris Saint-Germain temporarily retains the lead in the championship, but OM and OL – two points behind – could regain control if they succeed this weekend.
