PSG 2-1 Strasbourg-10-man Paris beats Strasbourg
In the dying seconds of extra time, Mbappe scored to give PSG a well-deserved victory. After Neymar was sent off in the 62nd minute, Paris were down to 10 men and were pinned against the wall when Mbappé again came to his aid.
Marquinhos opened the scoring as he slipped past his marker and headed in Neymar’s cross after 14 minutes. The Brazilian defender, however, deflected Adrien Thomasson’s cross into his own net in the 51st minute to level the score. Neymar received his marching orders in the 62nd minute at the Parc des Princes after picking up two cards in two minutes, the first for a foul then a second for a dive a minute later.
Ten days after Mbappe’s hopes of becoming a two-time World Cup winner were dashed after 2018 champions France were beaten by Argentina in the Qatar final, the 24-year-old was hit the bullseye again by converting a penalty six minutes into stoppage time after being shot inside the box. PSG lead the standings with 44 points, eight ahead of RC Lens, who have one game less. but with one more game played. Strasbourg is in 19th place.
