With one down from the start, PSG beat Le Havre in Ligue 1
Le Havre are rewarded with a free-kick from medium distance. The position is not good for a direct free-kick, so we can expect a cross into the box.
We’ll have 4 minutes overtime.
PSG! Goal! Vitinha advanced through the opposing defense and deceived the goalkeeper!
Nabil Alioui takes the corner, but an opposing defender clears the ball safely.
Antoine Joujou is the first to reach the ball on the rebound inside the penalty area and fires a quick shot towards the right corner of the target. One of the defenders makes the save on the goal line instead of the goalkeeper.
Arnau Tenas shows great skill as a goalkeeper as he prevents Nabil Alioui from hitting the rebound low and at point-blank range into the left corner.
Nabil Alioui (Le Havre) can’t be surprised. It was the right decision by the referee and it cooled the situation down. I’ve seen fouls like that even punished with a red.
Vitinha (PSG) tries to set Kylian Mbappe free with a through ball, but Arthur Desmas reacts well and gets out of the way to stop it.
Le Havre have the chance to score from a corner kick, but a defender gets to the ball and clears the danger.
Ousmane Dembele (PSG) left footed shot from the centre of the box is high and wide. The ball is just wide of the left post!
Mohamed Bayo (Le Havre) had time and space in the box after receiving a sweet pass. Too bad his low shot, in the middle of the goal, was saved brilliantly by Arnau Tenas.
Kylian Mbappe (PSG) passes up a great opportunity… he handles the ball well after receiving a low pass and shoots into the stands!

A good chance for Josué Casimir as he reaches the cross on the edge of the box and fires the ball towards goal! It went wide of the right post.
Yassine Kechta (Le Havre) sends a cross into the box, pushed away by an opponent.
PSG seem to find their rhythm when in possession. Great movement from the attacking players allows the more defensive players to join the attack.
PSG parece encontrar o ritmo ao ter a posse de bola. Ótimos movimentos dos jogadores ofensivos permitem àqueles mais defensivos se juntarem ao ataque.
GOAL! No, wait, the shot was disallowed for offside. Kylian Mbappe (PSG) doesn’t agree, but the assistant referee is convinced of his decision.
PSG! Ousmane Dembele lays the ball off to Kylian Mbappe on the edge of the box and he hits the right corner with a great shot. The score is 0:1.
That was easy for Arthur Desmas. Kylian Mbappe (PSG) received the pass and found space to finish, but his low shot across goal was straight into the keeper’s gloves.
Substitution for red card. Bradley Barcola (PSG) leaves the field and is replaced by Arnau Tenas.
That’s not right. This has nothing to do with soccer and fouls like this should be punished by the soccer associations. Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG) is shown the red card for a bad foul.
Substituição. Fabian Ruiz (PSG) não pode continuar devido à contusão e Manuel Ugarte o substitui.
Gautier Lloris is the first to reach the ball on the rebound inside the penalty area and fires a quick, low shot towards the middle of the goal. One of the defenders makes the save on the goal line instead of the goalkeeper.
Le Havre show great movement. The players are controlling possession and exchanging first-time passes. They are dictating the pace of the game.
Ball rolling for PSG v Le Havre
After securing six clean sheets in 13 games in Ligue 1, Le Havre goalkeeper Arthur Desmas is on a par with PSG’s star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. He’ll have to keep an eye on PSG striker Gonçalo Ramos from the start, as Ramos has scored before half-time in all but three of the last 16 matches in which he’s scored.
With a far superior performance, PSG are the favorites to win today’s match.
