PSG plays against Angers and takes off in the standings

The French championship continues its journey. Three days after a cruel defeat against Atletico Madrid (1-2) during the fourth day of the regular Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain went to the pitch of Angers SCO on behalf of the eleventh day of Ligue 1. At the end of an exciting match, the capital club won largely (4-2) against a disappointing Angevin team. On the one hand, Luis Enrique's team retains the lead in the ranking (1st with 29 pts) and takes six points ahead of AS Monaco (second) and nine over Olympique de Marseille (third). On the other hand, the promoted team occupies a dangerous fifteenth (10 pts) and could be relegated at the end of the weekend.

A one-sided first act

Paris Saint-Germain, who had an excellent start to the match, logically opened the scoring shortly after the quarter of play. Launched deep on the left, Asensio crossed at the end of the race. Everyone dives within six meters without being able to recover, and it is Kang-in Lee who takes the opportunity to score from the right at the far post (0-1, 17th). Three minutes later, the capital club doubled the lead. Far too easily, Barcola shifts Asensio to the left of the area. This time, the Spaniard crosses at ground level, but it is still Lee who emerges at the far post to score the second goal from the left, in force (2-0, 20th). Behind, Angers tried to react. The ball drags in the Parisian area after a cross from the left. Aholou attempts a short cross towards Niane within six meters, but Marquinhos covers well and pushes the danger away for a corner (21st). El-Melali's corner curled fantastically into the six meters to find Aholou, who was ahead of the Zaire-Emery duel. In an ideal position, he hits the ball with his shoulder and does not find the target (22nd).

Shortly before the half-hour mark, Luis Enrique's team created another opportunity. Served in the area, Marco Asensio quickly takes control and strikes from the left, but it lacks power to surprise Fofana (27th). Fifteen minutes from the end of regulation time, Niane is thrown behind Skriniar's back by Abdelli and faces Donnarumma. He tries to dribble past the goalkeeper, but the Italian quickly dives to the ground to win his duel and clear the ball with his hand (30th). But the reigning French champion scored a third goal. The promoted player fails to leave his camp and the ball is lost 20 meters from his goal. Asensio turns and easily finds Barcola for the third goal. The winger came back strong from the right at the penalty spot (0-3, 31st). In added time, the French international scored twice. Faced with a completely passive defense, Kang-in Lee has plenty of time to curl in a left cross from the right corner of the area. Alone at the penalty spot, Barcola lands a winning header, which ends in the side net (0-4, 45' +2).

SCO wins the 2nd half

On the hour mark, El-Melali curls a cross into the six meters. Biumla dove to regain the lead. He comes up against Donnarumma, before Aholou misses his acrobatic recovery from close range, with his back to goal (60th). Fifteen minutes from the end of regulation time, Kolo Muani turns around and accelerates to clear his defender. The attacker picks up speed and hooks at the edge of the area before hitting hard with his left. The Angevin goalkeeper makes a good save (75th). In added time, the SCO logically reduced the score. The Parisian defense lets the Angevins advance on the left. Abdelli takes the opportunity to send an excellent cross back for Lepaul, who achieves a marvelous volley from the outside of the right, 20 meters away. The ball ends up in the top corner of the Parisian goalkeeper (1-4, 90' +1). Behind, Luis Enrique's men regained control of the match. On the rebound within six meters after a powerful strike from Neves repelled by Fofana, Randal Kolo Muani quickly took control and hit it from the right, but found the post facing the empty goal (90' +6). At the last second of added time, the Parc des Princes resident conceded a second goal. Launched like a ball at the near post, Biumla beat Randal Kolo Muani to head Raolisoa's excellent corner with a diving header. Donnarumma is caught between the legs (2-4, 90' +7). Behind, the referee ended the match.
