It was with a 1-0 defeat against Le Havre that the Greens began their hopefuls' challenge campaign. Anxious to set the record straight, the reaction was expected for this second day.

The composition of the ASSE
Touré – Nzuzi, Pedro, Ndiaye, Makhloufi – Sahraoui, Amougou, Fall, Miladinovic – Agesilas, Aiki

Summary of the meeting
The ASSE reserve, led by Razik Nedder, faced PSG this Monday for the second day of the Espoirs Challenge at the Robert-Herbin Sports Center.
The first quarter of an hour proved to be balanced, with each team groping to find the fault. Few clear chances were to be reported until the 22nd minute, when the meeting got lively. Meïvyn Agesilas thought he opened the scoring with a perfect cross from Maedine Makhloufi, but his goal was canceled for offside. PSG responded immediately, but Issiaka Touré, imperial, saved his team from a decisive save.
The efforts of the Stéphanois were finally rewarded shortly before half-time. Mathis Amougou delivered a precise cross that the inevitable Ayman Aiki transformed into a goal. A logical opening score which allowed the Greens to return to the locker room leading 1-0.
The second act offers Parisian domination, particularly during the first quarter of an hour. The neo-professional Djylian Nguessan will allow ASSE to double the stake. Indeed, he took advantage of a nice pass from Igor Miladinovic to allow the reserve to take off in this meeting. This is the final score in this match, the Greens take the capital club!
