On Sunday evening, the 21st round of "Ligue 1" matches ended. The first to take the field were the defending champions, "Paris Saint-Germain," and the players from "Evian." Although an easy victory was expected, just like in the previous round against "Bastia," the Parisians did not have an easy opponent this time. Laurent Blanc's players were forced to chase their opponents in the first half, as they conceded a goal in the 14th minute, but they managed to equalize and take the lead before halftime with goals from David Luiz and Marco Verratti. In the second half, "Evian" showed character and leveled the score in the 63rd minute with a goal from defender Gregory van der Wiel. However, PSG fought back and celebrated a hard-fought victory with goals from Javier Pastore and Edinson Cavani, winning 4-2. The capital team took advantage of the draws between "Saint Etienne" and "Rennes" and moved up to third place in the championship. In the evening match between the second-placed "Marseille" and "Guingamp," there was a flurry of goals at the end of the game. For a long time, it seemed like there would be no goals, but the hosts from Marseille scored two goals in the 84th and 89th minutes. Just before the final whistle, Rod Fanni received a red card, and after his foul, "Guingamp" striker Claudio Beauvue scored a penalty from 11 meters. Marcelo Bielsa's players remain just one step behind the leading "Lyon" in "Ligue 1," while PSG trails by three points.
