00:00.
00:07Well a bit of disappointment in Europe during the week for Paris Saint-Germain
00:10as they were held by Newcastle and forced to come through a play-off round
00:15in the elite European club competition,
00:19but domestically they can reclaim first place in the table tonight
00:23after seeing Lens move above them with their victory earlier in the weekend.
00:28PSG looking for a sixth straight Ligue 1 victory tonight.
00:32Strasbourg are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions,
00:36they've won their first three since Gary O'Neill replaced Leo Brasinha on the bench
00:41just a few weeks ago.
00:43Just got a glimpse of Ousmane Dembele, the reigning Ballon d'Or,
00:47is only a substitute at kick-off tonight.
00:53See if he comes on at some point in this game.
00:57Adoué stretching his right boot out to collect the ball
01:02and play the pass to Moreira on the right.
01:04There are blue shirts in the middle for Moreira,
01:06he might just go all the way himself here and the shot low.
01:10Moreira with the effort.
01:12Moreira.
01:15I went on at El Murabe for Strasbourg.
01:17Fasten into the middle by Enthiso the shot blocked at point-back range by Marquinhos,
01:25some very hopeful appeals for him.
01:28That was the shot by Wattara, Moreira, El Mourabet from Strasbourg.
01:39Lifted into the middle by Enthiso, the shot blocked at point blank range by Marquinhos,
01:45some very hopeful appeals for him.
01:48Not even point blank range, Marquinhos is right there but his left hand is sticking up.
01:53You can't classify that as a natural position for the arm to be in, let's see what he's decided.
02:03It's a penalty, two of them against PSG at the Parc des Prats in October.
02:10Up against Matvej Safonov to give Strasbourg the lead,
02:13it's saved by the Russian goalkeeper, diving to his right.
02:20Intercontinental Cup final shootout against Flamengo.
02:23In December, there's another penalty save to deny Panicelli and Strasbourg, it remains nil-nil here.
02:35Winnemendez has recovered from that, knocked to the head, looking to release Bradley Barkula.
02:41Watched all the way by Mamadou Sarri, doesn't clear it, and Paris Saint-Germain have scored.
02:45Just a couple of minutes after they could have fallen behind, punished for it.
02:53And the PSG travelling supporters celebrating at the other end of the stadium,
02:57that was the attempted clearance, off Barkula, and it falls kindly for Senimaiulu to score the goal.
03:05Panicelli, it's a nice ball towards Chilwell, looks to pick out.
03:25Dua in the middle, what a tremendous goal that is, to bring Strasbourg back on level terms.
03:31A superb response to falling behind, it's 1-1.
03:34Big brother Guilla, Joaquin Panicelli, who had the penalty saved, that nil-nil,
03:44was a really important part in making that goal with the pass to release Ben Chilwell on the left.
03:51Chilwell's first tight ball into the middle, and Guilla-Doué tucks it away brilliantly.
03:57It's the second of the season, shaping up very nicely, nearly half an hour gone.
04:06It's one apiece.
04:08Strasbourg have a spring in their step again, Panicelli laying it off towards Godot.
04:15Collected by Enviso, Paraguay, laid out by Moreira to Chilwell.
04:20Here's Julio Enviso again, it drills it into the middle, Safonov getting down low.
04:25And PSG can see the corner, I'm here.
04:30Good play again from the home team, down the left, Chilwell to Enviso.
04:34That was a shot at goal from him.
04:37I think it might just have been heading in, you know.
04:41Instead, the home team have their first corner kick of the match.
04:47I don't know, it's towards Bradley Barcola, who brings it down expertly.
04:51Turns it towards the far side in the really crisply-strung first-time effort from Mashraf Hakimi.
05:03Spanish-born, Moroccan superstar.
05:05They'll also be eight points away from the top four, which is not ideal.
05:19They'd like to be in the reckoning for Champions League qualification, if possible.
05:25There is the half-time whistle.
05:39So, in all, after 45 minutes of play, exciting game between both parts.
05:47We'll take a short break, come back with the highlights from this first half, 1-0, here on the Esports.
05:57Well, will we get the same levels of intensity in the second half here in Strasbourg this evening?
06:11They had a fantastic game up to now, one apiece between the home team and the reigning champions.
06:17PSG looking to move back to the top of the table.
06:19They are on course to do that as it stands, albeit they want the victory to have a two-point gap between them and their nearest challenger's loss.
06:29Their only credible title challengers, you'd have to say at the moment.
06:34Marseille and Lyon too far off the pace.
06:49Here is Desiree Douai, nicely done to find Sidney Mayulu to do it again, and it's a fantastic effort from Desiree Douai, but it's off target.
07:01Mike Benders wasn't all that sure where that ball was going.
07:09Just didn't quite curl back towards the far corner of the net.
07:19Desiree Douai once more, comes to Lee who struck it well, but straight at Mike Benders.
07:26One Belgian goalkeeper, who is one of the cohort.
07:39And then the collision between Hakimi and Panicelli, Panicelli's gone down writhing in agony.
07:43Oh, well, Hakimi went over the top, but the studs, I think, are breaking down.
07:53The studs are there.
07:57I'm not sure that anybody is really calling for Hakimi to be sent off for this.
08:08Ashraf Hakimi has been sent off.
08:11And Paris Saint-Germain will play the final.
08:1315 minutes plus stoppage time down to 10 men here.
08:26Marquinhos pleading the case of his teammate to the referee, but it's too late.
08:34Ashraf Hakimi.
08:36There have been draws in there.
08:37There have been wins, of course, to claim trophies, but only on penalties.
08:43Warren Zaire Emery, it's the cross towards the back post, and there is the goal for Paris Saint-Germain.
08:51The 10 men take the lead again.
08:54Nuno Mendes is the scorer.
08:56Hang in doing well initially.
08:59Zaire Emery with the cross.
09:02And Nuno Mendes heads in to make it 2-1 to the...
09:05Head knock for Marquinhos and the Strasbourg player down as well.
09:10And there, a ball given away by him.
09:15Here on a 2-1.
09:19Watches fall for Godo in the middle.
09:21And he did really well to get that under.
09:23Looking for his 10th goal of the season in all competitions.
09:29Just a slip as he hit it.
09:32This is about as close as they've come to...
09:35A good one.
09:37There is the final whistle.
09:38They finish this game with 10 men, but they've ground out the victory thanks to...
09:42So, leaders with 48 points.
09:51Pesier leads the Stamings once again.
09:55Lunds will be second with 46.
09:57Marseille with 39.
