Paris Saint-Germain secured its seventh consecutive victory in Ligue 1 this Saturday, triumphing 2-0 on Havre’s turf during the 14th round.
A nightmare start for the Parisians. Then, the injury to Fabian Ruiz, and later, PSG playing with ten men after Donnarumma’s expulsion, penalized for a high and late foot on Casimir outside the penalty area…
It seemed dire for PSG, but thanks to a solid performance from Danilo, a debut in goal for Arnau Tenas, who had an outstanding match, and goals from Mbappé and Vitinha, Paris escaped the trap. Final score: 2-0.
