The Parisians travelled north on Friday evening for another Ligue 1 clash. The Rouge et Bleu were the first to look dangerous, with a shot from Achraf Hakimi hitting the post after Berke Özer came out of his goal (5'). LOSC’s response was quick, with Ethan Mbappé finding Olivier Giroud six yards out, but Matvey Safonov made a save on his goal line (7').
Eventually, it was Lille who opened the scoring through Hákon Haraldsson, who fired home a powerful right-footed shot (1–0, 21'). The Parisians tried to get back into the game, and Désiré Doué cut the ball back to Fabian Ruiz, only for Özer to intervene (27'). It was then Ferran Torres’ turn to threaten with a header, but the Spanish forward failed to find the target (33', 45'+2).
In the second half, Luis Enrique’s players pressed on in search of a way through Lille’s solid defence. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who had come on at half-time, cut inside onto his right foot and unleashed a sudden shot that grazed the opponent’s right-hand post (57'). Ten minutes later, it was Vitinha who tried his luck from distance, sending a shiver through the stands at the Pierre-Mauroy (67'). LOSC held firm and had the chance to double their lead when Tiago Santos crossed from the right flank to Olivier Giroud, who failed to hit the target with his header (71').
That wasn’t the case for Dilane Bakwa, whose curling left-footed effort gave the Dogues a two-goal lead (2–0, 84'). But Paris Saint-Germain never give up, and Vitinha rekindled hope with a superb left-footed strike that nestled in the top corner (2–1, 90+1'). Then, in the very last moment of the match, Marquinhos rescued a draw for the capital club with a powerful header (2–2, 90+5)!
In the final moment, captain Marquinhos won his aerial duel against Romain Perraud, earning Paris a hard-fought draw!
