PARIS (AP) – Defender Layvin Kurzawa’s goal was enough as defending champion Paris Saint-Germain and he achieved a dissexed 1-0 win at Angers to take the lead in the French league on Saturday.
But challenger Lyon can repair his one-point lead by beating midfielder Metz at home on Sunday.
PSG ran out of coach Mauricio Pochettino after positive for coronavirus, and his two assistants took over.
However, it is an unre interesting feature that PSG enthusiasts at home will temporarily forget.
Kurzawa flew only the penalty dominance well with 20 minutes to the end, but his purpose had an impromptu touch when a center from the right hit an Angers defender and closed attractively.
Angers comfortably held the PSG in midfield and was cutting edge for the future.
“We weren’t far away, ” said angers defense Romain Thomas. “We prepared the game very well and it’s a shame that we couldn’t open the scoreboard. “
Earlier, the florian Thauvin winger conceded a penalty and Marseille paid the penalty by knocking out Noquear at home by suffering 2-1 to Nimes.
Thauvin sent goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet along the way, but his shot went over the crossbar in the 35th minute. Moments later, Reynet stored with his foot the meek shot of striker Dario Benedetto from the nearby diversity.
Marseille, sixth, was punished for failures when Swedish midfielder Niclas Eliasson struck twice in a row at the beginning of the moment for Nimes to move from the back and 18.
Benedetto withdrew a resolution with five minutes to go.
Right-back Pol Lirola started his first match with Marseille since relenting through Italy’s Fiorentina, but the defence of the house looked fragile without injured goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
“First of all, we have to apologize to the fans,” said Marseille coach Andre Villas-Boas. “We don’t play well and don’t show a smart team spirit. I am not satisfied with the lack of commitment. “
Marseille’s central defender, Alvaro Gonzalez, used an oath to describe his team’s careless performance.
“We have to respect the shirt, we lack strength and combativeness. We didn’t do anything,” Gonzalez said, “When you lose, other people communicate about the coach or something, but that’s not true, it’s up to us. When you’re rubbish, you lose. “
