SOS for an attack in distress.
Still at half mast offensively, PSG failed to beat Auxerre on Friday (0-0). Second best team in the championship at home with an excellent record of five wins in six games, AJA lived up to its status. The Icaunais played the solidarity card to resist. Donovan Léon particularly assumed his role as last defense by slamming the head of Gonçalo Ramos (18e) and by intervening against Nuno Mendes, who had combined well with Bradley Barcola (33e). At half-time, 74% possession and seven shots in favor of the leader, but still no goal, apart from the one denied to Fabián Ruiz for offside (28e).
Well supplemented by his crossbar on a strike from Vitinha (69e), Léon did not give his share to the dog in the second period: the Auxerre goalkeeper put on the warm-up blue and disgusted Ramos (49e), Lee Kang-in (54e), Ashraf Hakimi (56e) or Ousmane Dembélé, off the bench (78e). Gigio Donnarumma also did the job to avoid a huge disappointment for the French champions against Hamed Junior Traoré (70e). Hero of the game, Léon held the house until the end, winning a final duel with Randal Kolo Muani to save the draw (90e+4). As against Nantes, PSG lost two points which were holding out their arms and began to look behind. Marseille and Monaco will be able to return to five points in the event of a victory this weekend.
We knew a better way to prepare for a decisive match in Salzburg.
