Arsenal 2: 0
PSG En direct
Paris logically lost to Arsenal (0-2). After a big round of observation for about twenty minutes, Arsenal quite logically opened the score thanks to Havertz who took advantage of a rough exit from Donnarumma (20th). But Paris managed to react quite quickly and eight minutes after Havertz's goal, Nuno Mendes tried his luck from a tight angle but his shot hit the post. In the process, Hakimi also tried his luck but Raya deflected it for a corner (30th). These two opportunities were quickly swept aside by a backhanded free-kick from Saka. The English international doubled the lead after another approximation from Donnarumma (35th). After the break, the Italian goalkeeper was, this time, decisive after a sublime move from Arsenal. He pushed back Martinelli's powerful shot (51st). After the hour mark, Paris wanted to make Arsenal doubt and rushed to attack. Neves hit the crossbar after a clever deflection at the near post (65th) before Raya won on a floating strike from Lee (66th). PSG would ultimately not really manage to worry David Raya any more and Luis Enrique's men would remain silent throughout the match. Paris will meet PSV Eindhoven on the third day of the Champions League phase on October 22.
