It is on a cruel scenario that the Parisians leave the Coupe Gambardella, the Coupe de France for the under-19s. Everything had however started perfectly for the young people of the PSG training center. At the conclusion of a great collective action, Kamil Besnoula gives the advantage to his team from the 7th minute.
It was a poorly controlled exit from Parisian goalkeeper Desthy Nkounkou who then allowed Lille to obtain a penalty in the 26th minute and equalize. A twist of fate, it was on a goal against his own side by Thomas Cordier that the Mastiffs regained control in the second half (61st, 2-1).
Captain Housni was not enough
But Paris Saint-Germain finds hope a few minutes from time. In the 83rd, Ilyes Housni scored the equalizer, once again on a superb collective moment, concluded at close range (2-2). A leading captain, he who was however on the lawn of Châteauroux in the Coupe de France with the professionals, only three days before.
This late goal was not enough to send the two teams to penalties. At the end of added time, another foul by goalkeeper Desthy Nkounkou gave Losc the match point in the form of a penalty converted by Hakim Sahabo after seven minutes of added time (2-3).
This is a real disappointment for the Parisian Titis, who leave the Gambardella Cup in the 32nd finals, a year after being eliminated in the 16th finals in 2022 against Le Havre.
