Yesterday, the 25th round of the French championship started. The only match on Friday featured "Marseille", who were in second place in the league table, and mid-table team "Reims".
Playing at home, Marcelo Bielsa's players unexpectedly let the victory slip from their hands right at the end of the match. Although Marseille's team was trailing after the first half, they managed to turn the result in their favor in the second half and seemed to secure the three points. However, in the 90th minute, David Ngog scored a header to equalize.
There were also interesting matches today, but the most anticipated match of the day was between defending champion "Paris Saint-Germain" and another mid-table team "Caen".
In this match, there was another unexpected outcome. The Parisian footballers took the lead early in the game, with a fantastic goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and further extended their lead before halftime through Ezequiel Lavezzi. However, at the end of the second half, it seemed that Laurent Blanc's players fell asleep, as they allowed the opponent to equalize, almost conceding the victory they had practically secured.
In the 89th minute, the ball was "thrown" past the goalkeeper by Emiliano Sala, and shortly after that, an unstoppable penalty was scored by Herve Bazile.
After these matches, "Marseille" and PSG teams continue to share second place in the league table, trailing "Lyon" by one point. Tomorrow, the league leaders will have a great opportunity to increase their lead against the closest pursuers, as they head to play a match against "Lorient".
It is worth mentioning that the eagerly awaited match between last year's vice-champion "Monaco" and the in-form "Montpellier" has been postponed.
