League 1 | PSG wins without shining in Angers with a double from Kylian Mbappé

One step closer. PSG is not yet officially crowned French Ligue 1 champion for the eleventh time in its history. But the Parisian club got even closer after their victory at Angers (1-2), opening the 32nd day of the championship. A success that quickly took shape in the first period thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappé. For the SCO, relegation to Ligue 2 could quickly be recorded. And from this weekend if Nantes and Brest win and Auxerre does not lose.

Facing the bottom of the class, Christophe Galtier’s men did not deliver a great match. Far from there. But it was enough to pocket the three points they had come for. They did what was necessary thanks to a serious and diligent start to the match. And thanks to his star duo Lionel Messi – Kylian Mbappé. The Argentinian was responsible for both goals. On one of his openings over the defense, Juan Bernat was able to save for the French striker who opened the scoring (0-1, 9th).

PSG only played 30 minutes

A little later, the 2022 world champion perfectly launched the top scorer in the championship in depth, who scored twice by eliminating Bernardoni (0-2, 26th). Here he is now at 22 achievements. With this goal of the break acquired, the Parisians then put less intensity in the rest of this meeting. They were content to play everything quietly, with a lot of side passes, and fewer and fewer ball calls.

We have seen almost nothing else from the Parisians. Conversely, it was the Angevins, with their limited means, who tried to shake up the championship leader. The second period was to their advantage. They still attempted 16 shots (against 10 at PSG) and were rewarded for their efforts with a goal from Sada Thioub at the very end of the match (1-2, 87th). But it was a little too late to hope for an equalizer.
