Dembélé sees double at the break

AS Saint-Étienne will present itself with big ideas. From the first seconds of play, Zuriko Davitashvili wreaks havoc in the Parisian defense before striking. Gianluigi Donnarumma wins and deflects the ball for a corner. A few seconds later, Lucas Stassin enters the penalty area but is finally caught by Nuno Mendes. Davitashvili appears but is countered at the last minute by Lucas Hernandez. Paris-Saint-Germain will begin to enter, little by little, into their match. Senny Mayulu will appear twice in front of Gauthier Larsonneur, without however managing to open the scoring. In the thirteenth minute of play, the capital club will find the net. Ousmane Dembélé enters the area, falls back on his left foot before crossing his attempt. It’s in the back of the net!

Luis Enrique’s men are now unleashed, pushed by the Parc des Princes, and are trying to make the break. Kang-In Lee will try his luck from afar. It’s deflected just above his crossbar by Larsonneur. A few moments later, Achraf Hakimi will cross and be blocked by the hand of Léo Pétrot. Ousmane Dembélé takes care of it and scores a double. Despite everything, the Forez club will continue to rush towards the attack. In the 35th minute of play, Bradley Barcola appeared in front of the last Saint-Etienne rampart but stumbled upon it. A few moments later, the French international recovered the ball from Benjamin Bouchouari’s feet and won his duel with Gauthier Larsonneur. The third Parisian goal will however be canceled by the VAR, due to an offensive foul by the Parisian. The score will not change until we return to the locker room.
