PSG struggled at the Moustoir in a completely open match played under dreadful conditions. After a dull first half with no rhythm (0-0), Paris thought they had taken control right after the break thanks to Nuno Mendes, who scored in two attempts.
But Lorient responded immediately: from a cross by Kouassi, Igor Silva equalized in a fiery atmosphere.
The rest? A shaken, imprecise PSG, then worried after the serious injury to Désiré Doué, who was carried off on a stretcher. Lorient pushed forward, supported by a roaring Moustoir, and Mvogo made several crucial saves against Vitinha, Barcola, and Kvaratskhelia.
Despite his offensive changes, Luis Enrique never found the solution. Paris finished frustrated, while Lorient was buoyed by a cheering crowd, but the score remained unchanged.
Final score: Lorient 1-1 PSG
A draw that slows down the Parisians… and confirms that Lorient is no easy opponent.
