Paris Saint-Germain F.C. On the 16th day of Ligue 1, Acing Strasbourg came close to pulling off a major upset against Paris St. Germain. Neymar's red-and-yellow card after 62 minutes caused the Alsatians to lose 2-1 against the star squad from the capital.

Lionel Messi, arguably the most well-known name, is absent from Paris. The Argentine world champion will not rejoin his team until the start of the new year, in part because he would already be suspended from the match against Strasbourg. However, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, the other two top players, are the center of attention now that they have been reinstated to the starting XI and throughout the game.

The hosts took advantage of PSG’s early dominance of the match in the 14th minute as Marquinhos headed home a Neymar free-kick from the right to make it 1-0. The Galtier squad is in complete control of the game, so the visitors don’t even see a nation later. However, after 30 minutes, Strasbourg launched one of their infrequent efforts, but Donnarumma superbly reacted to Gameiro’s close-range finish.

On the 16th day of Ligue 1, Acing Strasbourg Performing “Blitz Exclusion” is Neymar. Strasbourg scores the equalizer soon after the restart. Veratti makes a play-making error that gives the visitors the ball; Thomasson actually intends to cross the field; Marquhinos, the PSG captain, deflects the ball; and Donnarumma scores an own goal to make it 1-1. Sels responds vehemently when Mbappe nearly regains the lead.

Neymar is the focus after a little more than 60 minutes: He first sees a yellow card for a single shot (61st) in an effort to keep Thomasson at bay. After receiving a pass from Mbappe in the Strasbourg penalty area, the Brazilian ran off without coming into contact with any opponents less than a minute later. When 62 minutes have passed, referee Turpin issues a warning and turns the superstar’s jersey from yellow to red!

Mbappe bestraft Strasbourg spät Obwohl in Unterzahl, bleibt PSG das bessere Team. Die Gäste dagegen tun nur mehr wenig für das Spiel, ihnen ist anzusehen, dass sie mit dem Punkt gut leben können.

Das wird aber in der Nachspielzeit bestraft: Mbappe wird im Strafraum zu Fall gebracht und verwertet den fälligen Elfmeter selbst zum späten 2:1-Siegtor (90+6. As a result, PSG maintains its commanding lead over Lens, who have a game in hand, at the top of Ligue 1. The gap between the two teams is now eight points.
