Josue Casimir, the home team’s attacker, raced down to put pressure on goalie Donnarumma in the tenth minute. The 24-year-old goalie took a beat to decide to clear the ball, but Casimir touched it first since he was beating the clock. Unstoppable in his leg swing, Donnarumma kicked Casimir in the head just outside the penalty area.

Despite his intense reaction, Italian goalie Bastien Dechepy was immediately sent off by referee Bastien Dechepy. After that, he immediately entered the tunnel, leaving PSG with just 10 players. Only twice in Donnarumma’s career has she received a straight red card.

Thanks to the efforts of their stars, PSG managed to strike first even though they were playing without players. Midfielder Ousmane Dembele received the ball on the right and delivered it to Mbappe on the edge of the penalty area in the twenty-third minute. After pushing the ball to his right foot and curving it from a distance of roughly 17 meters, the 25-year-old striker sent it soaring toward the net and struck the inside edge of the post. With 179 goals in 230 games, Mbappe is also among the Top 10 players in French football history.

Goalkeeper Arnau Tenas, after replacing striker Bradley Barcola, played well, with seven saves for PSG. This is the first match the Spanish goalkeeper has captured in a national championship.

Three points were guaranteed for PSG in the 89th minute, when midfielder Manuel Ugarte stole the ball and dribbled past two players along the middle. The Uruguayan midfielder passed to Vitinha, allowing the Portuguese player to shoot from long range, hitting the opponent’s leg and flying over the goalkeeper’s head into the net. This is Vitinha’s fourth goal in 13 matches in Ligue 1 this season, a better achievement than previous seasons.
