In a French Cup match, PSG suffered a shock 0–1 defeat to Paris. The decisive goal was scored late in the game.
From the opening minutes, the hosts controlled possession and set the tempo. PSG mainly attacked down the wings, regularly pushing Dembele and Barcola forward. However, Paris defended compactly, denying the visitors clear-cut chances, and the first half ended goalless.
After the break, the pattern remained the same: PSG increased the pressure through substitutions and high pressing. Vitinha and Ruiz tried more shots from outside the box, but goalkeeper Nkambadio was solid. The visitors relied on quick counterattacks.
The most important moment came in the 74th minute. Kebbal carried the ball toward the box and played Jonathan Ikone through one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The midfielder finished first time into the far bottom corner to open the scoring.
PSG piled on the pressure in the closing minutes but could not equalize. In the end, Paris secured a 0–1 win thanks to the match’s only goal.
