The essential
- Before the international break, the Parisians had left the lawn of Monaco on a bitter failure (3-0) during one of the worst matches of the club of the capital this season. Paris Saint-Germain has no choice but to leave with the three points, at the risk of letting the Marseillais come back to less than 10 points.
- During the first leg between PSG and the Merlus, the Bretons had snatched a very good draw (1-1). Such a performance at the Parc des Princes would be considered worrying against a club ranked 16th in Ligue 1. Lorient still has a victory and a draw in the league.
- The CUP announced in a press release that it will remain silent during the meeting, in protest at the disappointing performances of the capital club. On the lawn side, PSG should start with Danilo Pereira, Idrissa Gueye and Leandro Paredes in midfield.
Follow PSG-Lorient live:
40e. The Parisian healers enter the lawn to take care of Paredes who complains of adductors.
38e. Yellow card for Koné after a sole on Kimpembe.
37e. Offside signaled for Hakimi who had been found by Mbappé in depth.
35e. Corner for PSG. It’s played with two very far from the Lorient goal.
33e. Nuno Mendes seems to have hurt himself on his last intervention. Kehrer went to warm up in prevention.
31e. Precious new intervention by Nuno Mendes to prevent a face-to-face Ouattara-Donnarumma.
31e. Hakimi goes up his lane and transplants in the axis before hitting with a left cross at ground level but the ball ends up out of goal.
28th. BUUUT OF MBAPPE !!! It’s a classic of the genre. Placed perfectly in the area slightly off center on the left, the Parisian striker gets back on his right foot and crosses his shot low to the ground to allow PSG to take the lead 2-0.
27th. What an opportunity! Lionel Messi is wanted by Hakimi. The Argentinian takes this ball over the defense with the tip of his foot. He lobbed the Lorient goalkeeper but the ball ended up just above the crossbar.
23e. Neymar finds Messi in the middle who tries to give depth to Mbappé but his pass is cut off by a defender. The MNM is looking for a lot tonight and it has already paid off.
21e. Excellent cover from Nuno Mendes in front of Ouattara in the middle of the race.
20e. Center of Mendes countered by the Parisian defense.
17e. Mbappé loses his support in the area after contact with Monconduit but no fault is to be noted.
15e. PSG was not far from putting on a layer immediately after the engagement of the Hakes. But the Breton defense withdrew well.
12th. NEYMAR BUUT!!! Classy collective action! While Paredes broke through the lines with a pass for Messi, the Argentinian gave a touch to Mbappé who put the ball back in the axis without control in Neymar’s race. The Brazilian concluded from the right cross by fixing the Lorient goalkeeper perfectly. Paris leads 1-0!
10e. Foul by Neymar on Mendes. The Brazilian would be suspended for the game against OM if he receives a yellow card tonight.
6e. New corner obtained after a combination between Mbappé and Nuno Mendes. The corner gives nothing.
4e. Kylian Mbappé’s number on his left side! He transplanted to follow up with a shot that was too crushed but obtained a corner. The corner leads to a messed up ball in the surface of the Hakes but finally cleared.
3e. Koné infiltrates the Paris area but his way is blocked by three players.
2e. Good intervention from Nuno Mendes in front of Ouattara who challenged him to a duel.
