03/01/22 – 23:30 – Thank you
Thank you to all of you for following us for this round of 16 of the Coupe de France between Paris Saint-Germain and Vannes.
01/03/22 – 23:27 – Mbappé wears an applied PSG
The deluge had invited itself to Brittany for the 2022 premiere of Paris Saint-Germain but the Parisians will not have been swept away by the raging waves. Far from it as they displayed a mastery of every moment in the image of the action which led to the second goal. Relaunching short on Verratti despite two opponents pressing, Donarumma saw his compatriot give him back. Without worrying, he shifted to Kimpembe, who in a lateral position stretched towards Mbappé. Its opening took Dulclovel and Lavenant in reverse. In the back, the French international feasted on the depth to go, without qualms, to beat Pétrel, who deflected the ball with his left foot but could not avoid the goal. It was shortly before the hour of play and the Mbappé festival had just started. Ten minutes later, he scored twice with a clear, uncontrolled strike from outside the area, before scoring a hat-trick after an action he himself had initiated. The class of the Parisian striker had spoken and rewarded the serious match of his people.
Indeed, before this second period marked with the seal of the former Monegasque, PSG had secured its rear by taking the lead on set piece. Indeed, on a corner, Kimpembe, free of any marking, placed a powerful cross header and freed his team, which although master of the ball and the tempo struggled to be dangerous in the game or then stumbled on an excellent Petrel, decisive on shots from Herrera or Wijnaldum. A goal that already sealed the fate of a meeting that Vannes approached backwards. The resident of Nationale 2 did try to exist but quickly understood his technical inferiority and never knew how to compensate with a surplus of commitment. Harmless, the Vannetais suffered for a long time before showing better intentions after the break. They could even have been rewarded for their efforts at the very end of the match Donnarumma having pushed a header from Henry behind his line. But Mr. Stinat and his assistants saw nothing in the absence of the VAR. A meager consolation that would not have changed anything in this unbalanced duel between two teams with separate worlds. Without trembling, Paris Saint-Germain easily qualifies for the knockout stages of the Coupe de France and starts under the best auspices the year 2022.
