For the first time this season, the capital club did not win. PSG could only manage a draw (1-1) in Reims.

This Saturday evening, Stade de Reims hosted Paris Saint-Germain for the fifth day of Ligue 1. In the ninth minute of play, Luka Elsner’s men opened the scoring. After seeing his shot blocked by Marquinhos, Nakamura adjusted Safonov from close range (1-0).

Lee had the chance to equalise but the Korean saw his attempt at the edge of the area well pushed back by Diouf (21st). Despite 78% possession, the Parisians went into the locker room trailing.

Ousmane Dembélé, the decisive entry

In the second half, Luis Enrique’s players did not seem to want to rebel. Barcola was close to equalizing, but his header went over the Champagne goal (55th). Injured, Doué gave way to Dembélé. The former FC Barcelona player would quickly prove decisive, equalizing like a fox in the box from a tight angle (68th).
