By Lee Jeong-bin
Despite facing a red card early in the game, Paris Saint-Germain emerged triumphant in their away match against Le Havre in the 14th round of the French Ligue 1 for the 2023-24 season. The match, held at the Ocean Stadium in Le Havre, France, saw Kylian Mbappe’s goal in the first half secure a 2-0 win for PSG.
Playing with a man down, PSG displayed resilience and determination throughout the game. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s red card in the 10th minute of the first half posed a significant challenge for the team, prompting an urgent substitution with Manuel Ugarte coming in for Luis. The subsequent goalkeeper substitution, with Arnau Tenas replacing Bradley Barcola, further tested PSG’s ability to adapt to adversity.
Despite the setbacks, PSG’s attacking prowess shone through as Mbappe converted Ousmane Dembele’s through pass in the 20th minute of the first half. In the 32nd minute, Mbappe found the back of the net again, only for the goal to be disallowed due to an offside call. And while Le Havre launched offensive efforts, Tenas’ crucial saves prevented them from capitalizing on their opportunities.
The second half saw PSG continue to fend off Le Havre’s offensive play, with Tenas showcasing impressive goalkeeping skills to maintain PSG’s lead. In the 44th minute, Vitinya sealed the victory with a goal on the counterattack, securing PSG’s hard-fought win.
Despite the early setback, PSG’s resilience and effective teamwork ultimately led to a well-deserved triumph, highlighting their strength and determination on the field.
