PSG Held 2-2 by Lorient After Twice Leading — Classement Paris Saint-germain Football Club – Fc Lorient

Paris SG were held to a 2-2 draw by Lorient in classement paris saint-germain football club – fc lorient at the Parc des Princes on Saturday. The result came four days before PSG’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich, and it left a home point dropped after the lead changed hands twice.

Mbaye and Pagis trade blows

Ibrahim Mbaye put PSG ahead in the 6th minute after Désiré Doué started the move. Lorient answered in the 12th minute through Pablo Pagis, who pulled the match level before the first quarter-hour was complete.

Renato Marin made his first appearance in the Paris goal with Matveï Safonov unavailable, and the rotation was clear from the bench as Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stayed out of the starting XI. PSG still found a way back into the lead when Warren Zaïre-Emery scored in the 62nd minute.

Zaïre-Emery and Tosin answer

That advantage lasted 16 minutes. Aiyegun Tosin equalized for Lorient in the 78th minute, and Luis Enrique reacted angrily from the touchline after the goal went in.

PSG had already warned Lorient once before the break when Lucas Hernandez hit the crossbar in the 34th minute. But the visitors kept finding an answer, and the home side could not protect either lead.

Lens, Bayern Munich, PSG

Only two of the eleven PSG players who started against Bayern Munich were in the lineup against Lorient: Willian Pacho and Doué. That rotation fit the week’s schedule, but it also left PSG exposed to a result that could tighten the chase behind them.

Lens could move back within four points of PSG if it won later in the evening at Nice. PSG still moves on to Bayern Munich with the same semifinal on deck, but Saturday’s draw left little room to call the domestic margin comfortable.
