PSG-OM FOOT. After a rather disappointing Classic, the Olympians lost to PSG (1-2) on Sunday 17 April. The capital’s players are 15 points ahead of their runner-up.
23:15 – The summary of the match
The Parisians win the 102nd Classic in history (2-1). PSG finished in the lead at the break thanks to a goal from Mbappé on penalty in added time of the added time of the first period. In a start to the match dominated by players from the capital, Neymar managed to unblock the situation thanks to an extension tackle which surprised Pau Lopez who had gone too far (12th). But after this goal, the Olympians took over and came back into the game. They dominated and took control of possession and capped the good run with a goal from a scramble in the penalty area. Caleta-Car took advantage of this and pushed the ball into the back of the net (31st). But as the end of the first period approached, a contentious situation prompted the VAR who called François Letexier to alert him to a hand in the penalty area. After viewing, the referee of the meeting signaled the penalty point which was converted by the inevitable Kylian Mbappé (45th + 4). During an almost soporific second period, the two teams observed each other without setting fire to the meeting. A scenario which necessarily arranged the Parisians who kept this advantage. And this despite the goal of William Saliba refused after intervention of the VAR for an offside position of one shoulder. But the Parisians were in danger until the end, as evidenced by the defensive strategy of Mauricio Pochettino who brought in Sergio Ramos in place of Marco Verratti. In the standings, the capital’s players are 15 points ahead of their evening opponent. Despite this setback, OM remain second behind the Parisians. Rennes’ false step this Friday against Monaco allows them to maintain a three-point lead on third place.
