PSG outclassed Salzburg this Tuesday on the sixth day of the league phase of the Champions League and is back in the standings (3-0).
23:05 – The match summary
PSG enforces the hierarchy by crushing Salzburg (3-0). Paris quickly moved into the opposing camp and got its first big opportunity through Hakimi then Ramos. Schlager works in two stages and makes two magnificent saves (10′). The Parisians will continue their domination but their cruel lack of success in front of the cages will continue when Ramos misses the inevitable in the 23rd minute of play while the goals were empty. But five minutes after this big miss, on a similar action, Ramos catches up and finds the fault (29′). Luis Enrique’s men have opportunities to take cover before returning to the locker room but will not succeed. The start of the second period took place at a very leisurely pace and we had to wait until the 72nd minute of play to be entitled to the first Parisian shot of the second half. And this shot hits the mark since Nuno Mendes, with his tiptoe, finds Schlager’s top corner, finally giving his team a break. Entering the game after the hour mark, Désiré Doué was the decisive passer on this goal then scored five minutes from the end (85′) by completing a sublime performance against the Parisians.
