The French Ligue 1 leader almost got caught up by a fifth-division team. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) almost fell victim to an unexpected incident.
PSG beat Espally 4-2 in the round of 32 of the 2024-2025 Coupe de France (France FA Cup) held at Stade Marcel Michelin Stadium in Cllermont Ferran at 5 a.m. on the 16th (Korea time).
PSG, the lone leading team in Ligue 1, lost points against Nacional 3 (France's 5th division) team from the beginning of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, the team put out its main players, Lee Kang-in, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes, putting out the urgent fire.
Lee Kang-in was placed on the replacement list. Luis Enrique used Bradley Barcola, Gonzalo Hamus and Desiree Doue as three-top players. Seni Mayulu, Fabian Lewis and Warren Zeire Emery played central midfielders. João Neves, Luca Hernandez, Axel Taffe Kovrissa and Joaram Zaghue were at the four-back. The goal was kept by Arnau Tenas.
Three minutes into the game, the home team Espalli took the lead. Kevis Giechi finished the cross from the left side with a header.
It was one-sided. PSG increased the ball possession rate and put pressure on Espally. However, it was regrettable that the team scored a goal all the time. The team failed to penetrate the two lines of defense, leaving a rather frustrating trend.
PSG caught up with 1-1 in the 37th minute of the first half. Jaire Emery received Due's pass and cut into the Espali net. The first half ended with a tie.
Coach Enrique changed three players at the same time at the start of the second half. Mendes, Vitinha and Lee Kang-in stepped on the ground. Mayulu, Luis and Zagae entered the bench.
In the 14th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in created a decisive opportunity with an exquisite pass. Due faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, but missed the opportunity to turn the tables with an inaccurate shot.
PSG turned the game around in the end. At the 21st minute, Dueh flooded in with Barcola's cross to finish. PSG took the 2-1 lead.
Espalli was formidable. Maxans Purnall balanced the game again. He gave PSG a blow with a counterattack. Purnall's right footed shot from the gate in the 26th minute was blocked by the goalkeeper, but he shook the net again with a shot.
At the end of the second half, PSG scored the winning goal. In the 42nd minute, Barcola pushed Mendes' low cross into the gate. In the second half extra time, Hamus scored a penalty to end the game.
PSG, which showed a rather frustrating performance in Espally in the fifth division, managed to win and advance to the round of 16 in the FA Cup. 메이저놀이터
