23:15 – Paris is getting by thanks to à its entrants, the summary

It was important not to be late tonight at the Stade Océane for Le Havre – PSG, the first match of the season in Ligue 1. While Luis Enrique took the gamble of starting the young Ibrahima Mbaye, 16 years old, many players were on the bench like Dembélé, Barcola or Marquinhos. After a superb one-touch sequence, Kang-In Lee is served by Gonçalo Ramos in the box. Less than two minutes after the kick-off, the South Korean curls his shot and deceives Desmas. In the first half, Le Havre showed two faces: 25 first minutes with a glaring lack of aggressiveness with twenty last minutes where they were more dangerous, creating opportunities. If the Parisians easily had the rare opposing opportunities, they kept this advantage in the score. Note the exit due to injury of Gonçalo Ramos, affected in the left ankle and replaced by Randal Kolo Muani.

After the break, Luis Enrique's players were punished. After the entry into play of new signing João Neves, the Parisians suffered an equalizer from Gautier Lloris on a free kick before conceding a second goal, ultimately disallowed for a handball by Josué Casimir. In the second half, Kang-In Lee hit the bar after a first post hit by Kolo Muani in the first half. &Twenty minutes from the end of regulation time, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembél&eacute came into play to make the difference and it was not until the 85th minute of play that the second named beat Desmas with a header after a cross from João Neves.

This victory launches the season of the Parisians who will face Montpellier next week.

But I'm happy. I'm very happy with the attitude of the players, with the performance. But there was too much waiting during the match, too many ball losses on easy balls and it put the opponent back in the match.
