The capital club could not do better than a draw at home against the Norwegian club.
Held in check by the Norwegians of Kolstad (28-28) on Wednesday at home in a suspenseful end to the match, Paris SG hand had a third match in a row without success in the Champions League in which it is standing still.
Still at the top of their group A a few weeks ago, the Parisians (9 pts like Kolstad and the Hungarians of Szeged) are now one step behind second place, directly qualifying for the quarter-finals without going through the play-off box . While they had the opportunity, in the event of success, to seize this precious accessit, they did not take advantage of the draw (27-27) between the first two, Kiel (11 pts) and Aalborg (10 pts). And they did not take up the particular difference in Kolstad which, winner last week (36-31), will beat them in the event of a final tie. The trip next Thursday to Kiel, their executioner to Coubertin on October 26 (34- 28), will be worth a lot.
On Wednesday, they thought they would win when Elohim Prandi, in great shooting form (10 goals from 14 shots) and distribution (7 assists), made a penalty save from Andreas Palicka (9 saves from 23 attempts) giving a goal in advance 35 seconds from the end. But Sogard Johannessen equalized with a powerful shot into the left corner 13 seconds before the siren before Prandi, in the game then on a free kick, missed the last ammunition.
PSG must also deplore the injury of their Polish pivot Kamil Syprzak, their best player since the start of the season, who left with a foot injury in the 43rd minute.
