What a dominant performance by Paris Saint-Germain tonight at the Parc des Princes! They completely outplayed Strasbourg, winning 5-2. PSG controlled the majority of the game, boasting a 63% ball possession rate. They racked up a impressive 20 shots, 11 on target. Strasbourg, despite putting up a good fight, could only muster 37% ball possession.
The first half was all PSG. They opened the scoring with goals from Draxler (10th minute) and Di Maria (22nd minute). Neymar added a third goal just before halftime! Strasbourg responded impressively with a goal from Aholou in the 6th minute of the second half.
The second half was a rollercoaster, with Cavani scoring two goals in quick succession to seal the victory for PSG, with goals in the 73rd and 79th minutes. Strasbourg managed to pull one back from Bahoken, but it wasn't enough to overturn the deficit. Overall, PSG's experience and superior attacking force proved too much for Strasbourg tonight.
