00:01We are underway, perhaps today will be the calm before the storm and, of course, as soon as I say
00:08that, we've had a false start.
00:17Desiree Douai breaking the halfway line.
00:21And now we are underway, and don't rule out Lorient, they have, as mentioned, caused one or two shocks in
00:31Ligue 1 this season, and this is a ground where they have enjoyed some success in the past.
00:37Now Deleuay giving his goalkeeper, Yvonne Movogo, an early feel of the ball, at least with the feet.
00:46Montessar Talbi on his return was quickly closed down by Desiree Douai.
00:54Lee Kangin under pressure, slice forwards off the boot of Lucas Hernandez, tidied up, though, by Arsene Kouassi for Lorient.
01:11Lorient.
01:12Vogo out towards Caceres with a nicely cushioned header.
01:16Had that return ball from Yvonne been slightly better weighted, there could have been a chance of an attack down
01:24the right there for Lorient.
01:28As it is, it will be...
01:30As it is, it will be...
01:36As it is, it will be...
01:37As it is, it will be...
01:42As it is, it will be...
01:43As it is, it will be...
01:47As it is, it will be...
01:48As it is, it will be...
01:49As it is, it will be...
01:51As it is, it will be...
01:51As it is, it will be...
01:52As it is, it will be...
01:52As it is, it will be...
01:53As it will be...
01:53As it will be...
01:58shape like a game of attack versus defense at the moment Desiree Due hangs it in oh it's got in
02:11the opening goal arrives it just hits Ibrahim Mbaye
02:16the goalkeeper trying to push the ball out
02:21and it just struck Ibrahim Mbaye didn't know much about it but Paris Saint-Germain take the lead it's
02:27taken only five minutes and it has to go down as a goalkeeping error
02:40credit to Desiree Due was a tempting cross
02:49well
02:53Yvonne Mbaye trying to push the ball away to safety
02:58just puts it straight into the shoulder of Ibrahim Mbaye come in his direction
03:06and eventually seen out for a Lorient throw by Dro Fernandes
03:23Katsaris
03:26there's the equalizer
03:29simple as you like from Pablo Pagis
03:34the ball into the box caught Paris Saint-Germain napping and Pagis the form he's in at the moment
03:44that's four goals and three assists in his last nine games and it's all square at 1-1
03:53all seemed really to happen in slow motion
03:58Katsaris's ball in was a good one
04:02and Pablo Pagis just side-footed the ball into the corner
04:11joy unbridled for those traveling Lorient fans whose numbers have swelled significantly by the way
04:31Ceres never looked likely to get that one
04:36Ruiz looking for the ball over the top and it's found Bradley Barcoli's got a man on the far post
04:42that's a timely intervention from Montessar Talbi and again
04:49if he got that wrong deflection could have so easily ended up in the back of the net
04:58Lee Kang in with the corner for PSG
05:03off the head of Laurent Abagil
05:11Lorient skipper
05:15take two for the Korean a bit more air this time
05:20came off the lorry on the head again
05:25so we'll go a third time
05:30different angle of the Pablo Pagis equal
05:55that's the midway point in the first half
06:01that's the midway point in the first half
06:04late last year at the Stade de Mustoie
06:06here's Desiree Douai though for PSG
06:11touch by and by Lee Kang in bringing Fabian Ruiz into play
06:15here's Bradley Barcoli looking to bend it
06:18and Mvogo could only stand and watch and hope
06:22and in the end his prayers were answered as that
06:25it's drifted wide of that left and upright
06:30dirty work in the heart of midfield for Lorient today
06:34there'll be plenty of it
06:44driving run forwards by Dro Fernandes
06:48this comes to a halt on the edge of the Lorient penalty area but
06:53Archie's just turned the ball back over
06:54this is Desiree Douai weaving his way through
06:57still going oh that would have been a wonderful goal
07:02just the finish missing
07:05it was as if the ball was tied by a string to his feet
07:10a wonderful slaloming run
07:20now Senemayulu has stolen a march
07:24and it glances at the crossbar off the head of Lucas Fernandes
07:32back arriving late it was a well-worked corner routine this nobody
07:36spotted Mayulo on the blind side and Lucas Fernandes
07:41was so close to restoring Paris Saint-Germain's lead
07:51for which the Ecuadorian apologizes
08:08Paris Saint-Germain with six shots they've hit the crossbar forced
08:12a couple of saves out of von Mvogo still level for the moment
08:17here's Lee Kang in that's another good save
08:21by Mvogo that one did have a bit of punch behind it
08:34Beraldo
08:38Ruiz shifting the ball on quickly is key it's Desiree Douai with a shot blocked by Talby
08:45that is half time no uh injury time to be added
08:51well
09:07so that's the end of the first half we're tied 1-0 here in Paris
09:17second half underway the last time Paris Saint-Germain
09:23drew a game in the McDonald's Liga was against Lorient
09:27in October of last year it ended 1-1 that day it's 1-1 again here today
09:35PSG have not gone winless in a season against Lorient since all the way back in 2010-11
09:45and of course in terms of the title race as that win probability drops to 60 percent
09:52Lorient was as high as 82 percent in the first half when PSG were leading Lons will be watching on
10:01with very keen interest ahead of their game against Nice later on this evening
10:11as his replacement
10:16Dembele
10:17Dembele Clarence Skelia lying in wait
10:20meantime PSG free kick
10:25Lee Kangin goes short
10:29Douai
10:30here's Warren Zaire Emery oh and it's in
10:34his first touch of the football
10:37after coming off the bench it's an inspired substitution
10:41from Luis Enrique
10:43did it take a deflection on the way through
10:46nobody at the Parc des Princes cares it's 2-1 PSG
10:52and the man who's just taken leads by example
11:04cleverly worked free kick squared up by Desiree Douai
11:09yeah I think it might have taken the slightest touch off Montessar Talbi
11:16which may be wrong-footed and Virgo
11:20literally across the road against Harry FC
11:25where no doubt there'll be a bit of revenge on the minds of PSG after their
11:31Coupe de France exit
11:33the hands of their near neighbours
11:37made a very good fist of their debut campaign in Ligue 1
11:40now here's a chance for Lorient
11:43big chance
11:44they've done it
11:46they've done it
11:47absolutely extraordinary
11:48Ayagun Tosin
11:50they barely had a sniff of an opportunity in the second half
11:56but Tosin saw the opportunity
11:59freshly arrived off the bench
12:01he weaved his way through the traffic
12:05and parity is restored once again
12:092-2
12:11and the never-say-die attitude of Lorient
12:16pays dividends once again
12:18it was that pass back
12:20by the young debutants that caused the problem
12:24and PSG weren't able to react quickly enough
12:28Biraldo left trailing in his wake and Tosin
12:32stepping inside Pacho and with the aid of the post
12:36wrong-footing the goalkeeper
12:38and bringing Lorient back square once again
12:47frustration for Luis Enrique
12:50no 2-2 Lorient
12:53but in fairness
12:55Ayagun Tosin still had an awful lot to do
12:58and he did it brilliantly
13:09and an eerie silence descends over the Parc des Prants for a moment or two
13:15PSG have got to start again
13:19Barcola
13:22Neves at the top of the box
13:25Zaire Emery
13:28Lee Kangen
13:30they've got a Manfrey at the back post
13:31across the face it goes
13:33Mouengenghi was there trying to make amends
13:36for his error for the Lorient equaliser
13:40but couldn't quite scramble the ball over the line
13:44Hernandez wins it back and then turns the ball over that's a foul
13:48from Drogh Fernandes
13:50get a yellow card for this challenge as well to be honest
13:53there's the opportunity for Mouengenghi
13:59and how he'd have loved to have atoned for that error
14:11he might just open the door a sliver to Lons
14:15still have a seven point buffer though
14:20that will be down to four
14:23these are all hypotheticals of course
14:25if Lons were to win against Nice
14:27they still have to play each other remember
14:30here's Tosin once again one-on-one
14:33with Willian Pacho
14:34it's Tosin
14:35it's a big save
14:37by the debutant goalkeeper Renato Marine
14:41to keep Paris Saint-Germain all square
14:45still not completely away
14:47it's Mouengenghi
14:50back through Yonghua
14:53and that's over the head of Tosin
14:54but he had a big chance to make it 3-2
15:05Lee Kang gets delivery
15:07oh and Hernandez smacks it against the post
15:10goodness me Lee Kang in again
15:14and now the flag goes up
15:16header from Hernandez
15:18who's now hit the frame of the goal twice today
15:27Darlan Yonghua has been put in as the draft excluder in that five-man wall
15:36this could be a big moment
15:38in the context not only of today but
15:41the title race itself
15:47ESG players being told of course they've got to stay a meter away
15:52from that defensive wall
15:56finally we're all set
15:57it's Schwao Nebes
15:59and the wall does its job
16:01then the ball flicks right across the face and strikes the post
16:07absolutely extraordinary
16:10it will not go in
16:12for PSG
16:17they go again
16:21Nebes
16:24Gianna Vogel
16:25but he came racing out there to try and
16:28block off Senni Mayullu
16:30and Mayullu's
16:31well was it a cross was it a shot who knows but
16:35the woodwork was there once again to save Lorient
16:38not the first time today
16:46here's the earlier chance that struck the other post
16:50off Lucas Hernandez
16:51sort of an afternoon
16:53for Luis Enrique's team
16:56and as of now there's just one minute of the regulation 90 left
17:05Abagel was strong in midfield
17:07Abagel was strong in midfield
17:07Cajur
17:09Enendez was foul but play on
17:11it's Barcola
17:13it's Bradley Barcola
17:15and that's a vital block again
17:20this time by Abdul
17:24Desperate defending by Lorient at times but effective
17:30really has been helped out by
17:33his posts and the crossbar
17:37particularly in the second
17:42that's the midway points of stoppage time
17:53Lorient on the brink of becoming just the fourth team to leave the partner
17:57France with something
17:59Lee Kang in has skipped past his marker though
18:01maybe not quite yet
18:03Talby sees that one away to safety
18:09maybe the last chance for Paris Saint-Germain
18:12to go nine clear at the top
18:21Seney Mayullu
18:26might have struck an arm that but it's broken kindly for Mayullu
18:30oh now referees pointed to the penalty spot
18:34high drama late on
18:37I have to say at first glance I didn't think that had struck the arm
18:41the Lorient players protest
18:44but Bastien Descepi has pointed to the penalty spot
18:48now intervene here
18:51Seney Mayullu on the third
18:58this will be the angle that confirms it now
19:00on the verdict of Julian Smith
19:06and his assistant in the VAR booth
19:14captain's being called across
19:17yeah
19:21no penalty
19:21I think justice has been done there
19:28normally you get a bit of a hint
19:30even from this distance in the commentary booth
19:33as to whether it's a handball or not and that didn't look like it for me
19:38but they're very close
19:43that one repelled by Nathaniel Adieu
19:46and that is full-time a punch in the air from Olivier
19:51we had said it looked like a trap game and now Alonso needs to win at the end of the
19:56day for this to mean something in the title race
20:0012 after an enemy to play from Paris
20:03you
