Trailing by two goals before being overtaken, PSG snatched their success at the end of the match on the pitch at Stade Brestois (2-3). Kylian Mbappé scored the winning goal.
Paris Saint-Germain came close to leaving a few feathers on the lawn of the Francis-Le BlĂ© stadium. Traveling this Sunday near Brest, Luis Enrique’s men initially thought it was a quiet Breton walk. But while they were leading by two goals, the visitors were caught by valiant Brestois who made them doubt for a long time. Saved by a penalty transformed into two stages by Kylian MbappĂ©, the Parisians can consider themselves happy to leave with the three points (2-3, 10th day).
Feeling comfortable at the start of the match, Warren Zaire-Emery’s teammates opened the scoring a quarter of an hour into the game. Walking on water since the start of the season, it was the young Parisian who took off loaded (0-1, 16th). About ten minutes later, Kylian MbappĂ© scored the break goal (0-2, 28th). But as the break approached, Steve MouniĂ© found the gap in the opposing defense, giving the locals hope at the best of times (1-2, 43rd).
A welcome penalty
Winding up like clocks, the Brestois started the second half on the floor and quickly equalized on a corner perfectly deflected with a header by Jérémy Le Douaron (2-2, 52nd). Change in the appearance of the match and the Parisians were under much more pressure and seemed capable of conceding another goal at any time. But fate decided otherwise and on a foul by Lilian Brassier on Randal Kolo Muani, the VAR confirmed to the central referee that there was a penalty.
Kylian Mbappé then took care of it but he came up against the opposing goalkeeper. Fortunately for him, the ball came back to him and this time he sent it into the back of the net (2-3, 89th). This narrow success allows PSG to temporarily move up to second place in the ranking, one point behind leader Nice, while Brest remains sixth.
