2021-12-14 13:19:42 By : Mr. Grant Liu

Paris Saint-Germain did it again. The Ligue 1 leader was only minutes away from their second defeat of the season, but as PSG escaped with a 1-1 draw at Lens, two second-half substitutes saved the day.

After falling 1-0 in stoppage time in the second half, Kylian Mbappe sent a precise cross to find a header from Georgenio Wijnaldum, who finished the game. A moment later, Lionel Messi had a chance to take all three points for Paris Saint-Germain, but his free kick missed the upper right corner. 

The winner of Paris Saint-Germain is unfair to an outstanding Lens team, and it can be said that it deserves a first-half goal that has never appeared before, because Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Kyle Navas did Stop the ball several times. But Navas made a mistake in Seko Fofana's knuckle shot in the 62nd minute, who directly rewritten the score to 1-0 through the hands of the Costa Ricans. After only 7 minutes, Lens could extend the lead, but Navas was saved by the right post.

Paris Saint-Germain brought in three substitutes with 20 minutes left, including Mbappé and Wijnaldum, but it is difficult for them to threaten Lens. Mbappe took a look just one minute after playing, but Lens goalkeeper Jean-Louis Leca met the challenge. Leica also blocked the Angel Di Maria's direct shot before halftime. This was the only other big opportunity for Paris Saint-Germain.

A few days after winning the record seventh Golden Globe Award, Messi played the entire game and hit the goal post in the first half. He is on the ground, expecting to be convicted of a foul in the game that led to the goal. But the home team did not stop playing for Messi, and Fofana followed up with the goal.

This allowed Paris Saint-Germain (13W-1L-3D) to add 42 points to the league lead, 13 points more than the second-placed Marseille team lost the game at the weekend and failed to close the gap. Paris Saint-Germain will play again on Tuesday to end the UEFA Champions League group game against Bruges at home. 

Goal: LEN — Seko Fofana — 62nd minute. PSG — Georginio Wijnaldum (Kylian Mbappe) — 92nd minute

95th minute: Messi curled up, but he couldn't find the upper right corner. This is the game.

94th minute: PSG takes a free kick in the "D" outside the frame of the lens, and Messi receives the ball.

92nd minute: PSG scores! Kylian Mbappe is home with a great cross on the left and Wijnaldum. This is a precise cross.

90th minute: four minutes of stoppage time. PSG really couldn't make any response. The lens still has enough energy. Idriss Gueye fouled Seko Fofana and received a yellow card, which wasted some time.

80th minute: SUBS-Lens replaced Massadio Haidara for the injured Kalimuendo and Yannick Cahuzac for Da Costa. At the same time, Nuno Mendes replaced Juan Bernat at the left-back position of Paris Saint-Germain.

78th minute: The camera gets closer again! Da Costa fed Frankowski in the penalty area, his shot stopped and he almost grabbed a rebound. I feel that PSG is about to be eliminated.

Regardless of the outcome, this is not good enough, and has not been good enough for some time. Quite simply, PSG has almost no chance to achieve their goals, and this unfortunate marriage with Pochettino still exists. #RCLPSG

71st minute: The game is getting better and better. Paris Saint-Germain got a chance at the other end, and Leica made a save against Mbappé.

47th Minute: Attention-Lens left center back Facundo Medina received a yellow card for deliberately rejecting a promising attack with handball. He will miss the team's next game.

46th minute: We are back to Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Intermission: Another intense game of Ligue 1 leader PSG. Lens had a strong start and it can be said that his efforts were worth the goal, and then the top three of PSG finally got their chance, including Lionel Messi hitting the goal post. So far, goalkeepers Keylor Navas (PSG) and Jean-Louis Leca (Lens) have been dealing with business. The best chance in stoppage time fell to Angel Di Maria, but he couldn't give up. In general, Lens played better, but PSG showed that it has the ability to come up with a goal at any time.

46th minute: Jean-Louis Leca's save! That was the best chance for Angel Di Maria to play. Hakimi made a superb cross, passing Di Maria, who was in the far post, and his goal touched the ground was saved incredibly by the huge Leka.

37th minute: Mauro Icardi was found in the penalty area. He shot in the crowd and was saved with a corner kick. Without Kylian Mbappe, PSG's offense does not seem so sharp. The camera defender keeps everything in front of them.

31st minute: First there was an explosion by Cheick Doucoure, then a weak shot by Gael Kakuta. The lens increased the pressure again.

18th minute: Messi hits the post! He was surrounded by Lens defenders, but he shot from the center outside the right post. PSG is adapting to the game.

The first ten minutes were all shots-Paris Saint-Germain was forced to make a wayward pass and didn't do much during the break-the home team had all the motivation and pushed for the opener.

8th minute: Lens moves forward actively and PSG has to overcome difficulties. In another quick transition, Seko Fofana discovered that Clauss was an off-target explosion.

Minute 4: The lens exerts pressure here, and PSG has complied with a few freebies early on. Gael Kakuta is on the right and former Chicago Fire winger Przemyslaw Frankowski is on the left.

Minute 1: We set off. Lens wore a special black jersey for the game against PSG.
