Strasbourg vs Paris Saint Germain
PSG rally past Strasbourg after early shock
A spirited comeback sees Paris Saint Germain overturn an early deficit to claim a 3-1 win.
Strasbourg stunned the Parc des Princes crowd with an early goal from G. Reyna at 17 minutes, but Paris Saint Germain responded strongly in the second half. Despite O. Dembélé missing a penalty at 72 minutes, PSG's resilience shone through with goals from I. Zabarnyi, Dembélé himself, and D. Doué sealing a 3-1 victory. This result defied Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a Strasbourg win, proving the visitors' comeback was no fluke.
