After several missed Parisian chances, the salvation came from an off-center free kick taken by Vitinha and it was Joao Neves, in the oven and in the mill since the start of the matchwho came out of his box to score with a header (78th). In the last action, Gonçalo Ramos, who entered the game, took advantage of a defensive blunder by the Citizens to complete the Parisian masterpiece with a shot into the top corner (90th + 3).
