Paris Saint-Germain drew FC Lorient 2-2 on Saturday, May 2, at Parc des Princes in Paris. This match came as PSG rested several key players in anticipation of their upcoming Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich.
PSG scored first in the match through Ibrahim Mbaye in the 6th minute. However, Lorient equalized just six minutes later with a goal from Pablo Pagis. PSG regained the lead in the 62nd minute thanks to Warren Zaire-Emery, but Lorient struck back again in the 78th minute due to a mistake by Pierre Mongaengu.
Despite the draw, PSG remains atop the Ligue 1 standings with 70 points. They have extended their unbeaten streak in league play to three matches, which includes two wins and one draw. Meanwhile, Lorient has struggled recently, winning only three of their last ten league games.
Kang-in Lee played a vital role for PSG, creating four chances during the match and contributing significantly despite the team resting several regular starters.
As PSG prepares for their crucial Champions League matchup, fans are hopeful that this draw will not impact their momentum. The team’s focus now shifts fully to their semifinal clash against Bayern Munich next week.
