Match report

After working last time for a victory of the opening day, the men of Luis Enrique struggled to get here under the lights of Parc des Princes, in which the Angers defense turned out to be a stubborn challenge. PSG, however, continued to investigate the opening goal and had a golden chance just before half -timepiece when João Neves was brought down in the box. Upstepped Ousmane Dembélé, but the Ballon d'Or favorite are penalty high and wide in the Paris air.

The home team continued to dominate the possession and had more than 83% of it in the first half, but they were struggling to make it in opportunities for scoring objectives. Désiré Doué had a chance from the edge of the box, but his curly effort landed on the roof of the net, with Angers more than happy to enter the HT Break Giernacht.

Anxiously because of the struggles to break down the stubborn visitors, Enrique's men persist in their usual style and eventually resulted in an essential opening goal within five minutes after the restart. Doué's ball in the box was deflected in the path of Fabián Ruiz, who wiped his finish home – but this did not lead to the opening of the locks, while Le SCO kept leaning back and frustrated their hosts.

The goal scorer Ruiz came within the centimeters of doubling his and PSG's count for the evening, but he went in centimeters wide after he was chosen by Hakimi. Nuno Mendes was the next one to get close after he had played the defense of the Angers in and out of the Angers attempt before his target -related effort was sent away by Hervé Koffi. In the end it was the solitary Ruiz's purpose that it turned out to be the difference between PSG and Angers, who hope that the third time is lucky on the next matchday after placing a second consecutive reports this campaign.
