Unusually, on Tuesday evening a "Ligue 1" match was played between the clubs "Metz" and "Paris Saint-Germain".
As expected, the Parisians dominated the field. Edinson Cavani scored the first goal after a pass from Maxwell with a header from the edge after playing a little over half an hour.
Just a few minutes later PSG doubled their lead with Blaise Matuidi, and the French champions' ball control statistics reached as high as 78 percent.
However, Metz's team did not give in to the titleholders from the capital so quickly, and Unai Emery's students failed to break away for a long time.
In the 77th minute, after Presnel Kimpembe brought down Cheick Diabate, Yann Jouffre was able to equalize the intrigue in the match by converting a penalty. Not only that, but just as the main time was nearing its end, the same Diabate equalized the score with a great pass from Ismaila Sarr.
A few moments later, PSG could have even suffered a defeat, but the second penalty taken by Jouffre hit the crossbar.
This likely woke up the Parisian footballers, as on the other side of the field they managed to launch a productive attack, in which after a pass from Javier Pastore, Matuidi scored the second goal for himself.
These hard-fought three points are very important for the capital team, as they have now caught up with the "Monaco," the leader of "Ligue 1," although they have played one less game. However, in order to retain the title, the Parisians will definitely need to continue winning.
Result:
"Metz" 2 - 3 "Paris Saint-Germain" [0-1] 33' Edinson Cavani [0-2] 36' Blaise Matuidi [1-2] 78' Yann Jouffre [2-2] 88' Cheick Diabate [2-3] 90' Blaise Matuidi
