Without the new coach on the lines, Mauricio Pochettino, who is positive in the Corona test, PSG defeated Angers 0: 1 tonight (Saturday) and temporarily climbed to the top of the table.
In the middle of the week PSG won the first title under Pochettino with 1: 2 over Marseille in the French Supercup. It was the eighth time in a row that the millionaire team won the title and tonight it continued the momentum in the league with a third consecutive victory in all competitions.
Neymar, who recovered from injury and even scored a penalty against Marseille, returned for the first time in 11 after a month, but struggled to stand out as did Killian Ambape who was not focused in front of goal with two misses.
The champion did not threaten once for the frame in the first half and also struggled in the second until a bad clearance from Angers’ defense came straight to the foot of Leibniz Korzawa, who kicked Walla from an extension straight to Paul Bernardoni’s corner and inside in the 70th minute.
Following the victory, PSG temporarily climbed to the top and is two points ahead of Lyon, who will play tomorrow against Metz. So what’s next? In the next round the champion will face Montpellier, while the seventh Angers will play against Bordeaux.
