Incidents
Matchday 21. Parc des Princes. 30,000 spectators.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team came into the match on a streak of 11 games without losing in the league, although with four draws in the last five.
His domain was felt from the beginning and at 32′ Mbappé turned it into an advantage. 23-year-old’s tenth in Ligue 1 this season to further frame his importance in the team without Leo nor Neymar, injured.
Those in the capital suffered a little. Irvin Cardona twice forced Gianluigi Donnarumma to make saves in the first half; Kylian responded, who had the 2-0 and missed by very little. And so they went to dressing rooms.
Kehrer extended PSG’s lead after the break, thus certifying the victory of the undisputed leader, who leads Nice by 11 points, the second classified in the table.
The German’s goal came after assistance from Nuno Mendes, who overwhelmed Ronael Pierre-Gabriel to find the central defender, who took a shot into the top right corner near the penalty spot.
Bizot then denied Marquinhos the 3-0 with a fantastic save to, towards the end, do the same with Mbappé, saying ‘no’ to his double and keeping things as they were until the end.
