Thanks to a thunderous first period, PSG outclassed Angers before a more confusing end to the match (2-4) and regained a six-point lead over Monaco.
Paris Saint-Germain continues to be uncompromising and efficient in Ligue 1. Three days after the heartbreaking defeat in stoppage time against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, the Ile-de-France club has maintained its cruising speed in the league . Paris dominated Angers (2-4) at Raymond-Kopa to regain a six-point lead over Monaco, second, and confirm its hold on the national scene during this 11th day. There were nevertheless two faces from the reigning French champions, which will not fail to annoy Luis Enrique. Things happened very quickly and Angers did not have time to really believe in the possibility of beating PSG for the first time in its history. It's been nine years since the SCO last took points against the Rouge-et-Bleu and the trend continued on Saturday evening. After a quarter of an hour of play, Mr. Millot's watch vibrated to indicate that Lee Kang-in's rebound had crossed the line despite Jordan Lefort's save (0-1, 17th). The Korean wasted no time and scored twice three minutes later, lighting up Yahia Fofana on a low pass from Marcos Asensio (0-2, 20th).

The Spaniard then distributed another caviar, this time for Bradley Barcola, author of a beautiful strike without control to add to the score in the area (0-3, 30th). To bring his total to ten goals and regain his goals at the top of the scorers' ranking, the former Lyonnais was on the receiving end of a worked cross from Lee to beat Fofana with a cross header (0-4, 45th +2 ). The quick exits of Barcola and Hakimi at the break, then of Zaire-Emery and Mayulu, did not have the desired effect, namely a boost in confidence for their replacements. Randal Kolo Muani found the post (90th +4) and Paris could no longer find the net after the break. Quite the opposite of the Angevins, happy to bring a little pleasure to their supporters at the end of the game. Esteban Lepaul scored his first goal in Ligue 1 on a gem after a volley into the opposite corner (1-4, 90th +1), before Emmanuel Biuma placed a victorious header from a corner (2-4, 90th +7 ). Above all, it will be necessary to remember the first act for PSG, with technical and collective ease, particularly in finishing, which will have to be successfully deployed in the Champions League during the next meetings.
