Paris, Oct 18
Paris-Saint Germain pulled off a second-half comeback to salvage a point against Strasbourg in a six-goal thriller at the Parc des Princes
PSG started emphatically, looking to kill the game in the opening exchanges. Beginning with an intensity that went unmatched, they took the lead in the sixth minute thanks to a smart finish from Bradley Barcola, who latched onto a clever ball from Desire Doue, making his first appearance in Ligue 1 since he sustained an injury at the start of September.
PSG dominated the ball in the first 20 minutes as Doué pulled the strings, looking to create chances, however, it was the visitors, in transition, who looked the most dangerous. Joaquín Panichelli fired a warning shot at Lucas Chevalier's goal, diverting the ball and forcing a strong save from Les Parisiens' shot-stopper and on the rebound, Julio Enciso couldn't fire Le Racing level Ligue 1 reports.
But Strasbourg - and Panichelli - wouldn't be denied for long. Ligue 1 McDonald's 'Top Scoreur' lept high, above Ilia Zabarnyi, to thunder home a header from a pinpoint Guéla Doué header, and before half-time, Liam Rosenior's side would be ahead.
