PSG went to yesterday’s meeting without two of its leaders at the same time: Lionel Messi, who is still on vacation after the World Cup, and the Brazilian Neymar, who was disqualified for a red card in the match with Strasbourg (2:1). In the absence of two leading players, the Parisians stumbled, and in the confrontation with the main competitor: Lens currently occupies the second line of Ligue 1.
Already in the first half, Przemysław Frankowski and Lua Openda scored twice against the hosts, while Hugo Ekitike scored against the guests. Well, the final score in the second half was set by Alexis Claude-Maurice – 3:1.
Despite the defeat, PSG remained in first place with 44 points in the French championship table, while Lens closed the gap on Paris by four points (40 points).
