Playing at Parc des Princes, PSG completely dominated with ball possession up to 77% and launched 28 shots, of which 8 were on target. However, the capital team faced many difficulties against Nice's tight defensive play and the excellent form of goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf. He saved many times, especially the one that blocked Vitinha's powerful shot in the second half.
The turning point came when Goncalo Ramos was sent onto the pitch by coach Luis Enrique in the 72nd minute to replace young talent Senny Mayulu. The Portuguese striker continuously created a storm, once had a shot that hit the post and once had a goal denied by the opposing goalkeeper. But in the 5th minute of injury time, Ramos became a hero when he headed the ball close to the goal after Lee Kang-in's cross, sealing a 1-0 victory for PSG. This was his 38th goal in 100 appearances for the capital team.
Speaking after the match, Ramos said that the victory over opponents who played deep defense like Nice was the result of patience. In Ligue 1, teams often defend more tightly, while in the Champions League, they play more openly. The important thing is that we still know how to win," he said.
Coach Luis Enrique also praised the fighting spirit of his players, while emphasizing that PSG need to control the tempo of the match well in all circumstances.
With 3 full points, PSG consolidated their top position in Ligue 1 with 24 points, 4 points more than the team behind Monaco. Luis Enrique's coach will continue his busy schedule when meeting Bayern Munich in the Champions League on November 4, before visiting Lyon in round 12 of Ligue 1.
