Despite having to play away and missing many key players, PSG still controlled the game for most of the time but dropped the victory in the final minutes.
Right after the opening whistle, PSG pushed up their attack formation, forcing Lille's defense to work hard. In the first half, the coordination between Lee Kang In and Barcola created many opportunities, but goalkeeper Ozer and the home team's defenders played with concentration to keep a clean sheet.
Entering the second half, the defending champions' continuous pressure was concretized in the 66th minute, when defender Nuno Mendes opened the scoring with a beautiful free kick, putting PSG ahead. However, Lille did not give up. Under the direction of coach Bruno Genesio, the home team rose strongly and was rewarded in the 85th minute: Ethan Mbappe - Kylian Mbappe's younger brother - finished close to the goal after Igamane's pass, setting the score at 1-1.
The draw helped Lille regain a valuable point against the French champion. Meanwhile, PSG still hold the top spot in Ligue 1 with 16 points after 7 matches, but the gap with the teams chasing behind is only 1 point.
