01/11/23 – 23:19 – Summary of the match
36 points difference, this is the difference between Paris Saint-Germain and SCO Angers at the kick-off of the meeting between the two teams on behalf of the 18th day of Ligue 1. A match of extremes between the leader of the championship and its red lantern which quickly turned to the advantage of the locals. After 7 minutes of play, the young Hugo Ekitike, very prominent against the Angevins, perfectly deflects Mukiele’s cross to the near post. We then think that the meeting will be one-sided as the gap is large between the two teams. But that was without counting on the ability of Parisians to purr. As so often this season, Les Rouge et Bleu play at a slow trot and return to the locker room with a single goal lead. From the kick-off of the second act, the SCO starts off on the floor and even has an opportunity to come back to 1-1. Yes, but there it is, in Paris individualities often end up making the difference. On an action led by Messi, the Pulga finds the net and offers the break to PSG (72nd). Final score (2-0), Paris won without convincing and now has a 6-point lead over Lens, which could not do better than a draw (2-2) in Strasbourg.
