In the match of round 22 of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) easily defeated the home team Nantes with a score of 2-0 and left the remaining opponents at the top of the table.
As a guest at Nantes, Kylian Mbappe was suddenly pushed to the bench after there was information that the French striker would leave this summer. However, with stronger strength, coach Luis Enrique’s army still easily overwhelmed the home team with many opportunities created in the first half.
However, Nantes’ defense still played resilient defense and made the away team’s offense deadlocked in shaking goalkeeper Remy Descamp’s net. The two teams entered halftime without any goals scored.
Entering the second half, PSG finally did what they needed with the opening goal in the 60th minute. That was the situation in which defender Lucas Hernandez suddenly decisively shot from outside the penalty area and hit goalkeeper Descamp’s net.
At this time, coach Luis Enrique sent Mbappe onto the field to add more firepower to the home team. After more than 15 minutes on the field, Mbappe showed his value by continuously stirring up the opponent’s goal and scoring a penalty for the home team.
On the penalty spot, the French striker easily defeated goalkeeper Remy Descamps to seal a 2-0 victory for PSG. This is also Mbappe’s 21st goal in Ligue 1 this season.
This victory helps PSG go “alone” in the race for the throne in Ligue 1. The Paris team has been unbeaten in the last 17 matches, gaining 53 points after 22 rounds, better than second-place team Nice. 14 points.
