The game
Even playing at home, PSG was leaked by Lorient in the 15th minute of the first half. In exchange for quick passes down the right, Favre found Le Fée free in the area, who hit Donnarumma’s corner to open the scoring.
Five minutes later, the home team saw Hakimi get his second yellow card after a hard tackle and had to play with one less player until the end of the match.
Even with the adverse scenario, PSG managed to draw at 29 with Mbappé. In a move that generated complaints from the Lorient athletes, the attacker stole the ball from goalkeeper Mvogo on the way out and only had to touch the goal open to the back of the net.
Still in the first half, the visitors reacted to the conceded goal. Le Fée passed the marker on the right and sent it to the middle of the area. The ball fell to Yongwa, who completed it for the goal and left Lorient once again ahead in the 39th minute.
In the second stage, PSG tried to draw, but failed to create many clear chances. The visitors, on the other hand, took advantage of the counterattacks and scored the third with Dieng, in the 44th minute. The striker was left alone against Donnarumma and had two opportunities to score.
