The Parc des Princes saw a dramatic encounter between Paris Saint-Germain and Strasbourg on April 7th, 2019. The final score was a 2-2 draw, a result that left both teams with mixed emotions.
PSG, playing at home, dominated possession (74%) and had a flurry of shots (21), although they could not quite convert them all to goals. Strasbourg, the visitors, was certainly not outmatched, creating chances of their own and matching PSG shot for shot. Both teams looked to exploit the space between the lines, with plenty of players involved in the attack and defense.
The most exciting moments came in the second half. A flurry of substitutions by both sides in the 60th minute and beyond kept the game charged. Goals from A. Gonçalves (Strasbourg) and Nuno Da Costa (Strasbourg) gave Strasbourg a 2-1 lead. PSG fought back brilliantly with a goal from E. Choupo-Moting, equalising the game and tying it up. Then a late goal from T. Kehrer made the final score 2-2. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric. The match ended with yellow cards for both sides and a nail-biting finish.
Both teams seemed to play a very balanced game, with neither team looking to dictate completely. PSG tried their hard work from their dominant possession and Strasbourg’s defensive strength was impressive in their ability to counter and seize their chances.
