Leipzig Frustrate PSG With Last-gasp Leveller by plethora007: 12:19pm On Nov 04, 2021 |
PSG had been cruising to an away win and were 2-1 up with 90 minutes gone as Georginio Wijnaldum netted twice to cancel out Christopher Nkunku's early goal for the hosts. In the dying seconds, Leipzig were awarded a penalty when PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe leaped onto Nkunku as a cross came in and substitute Szoboszlai made no mistake with the spot kick. With Messi out injured, the draw cost PSG first place in Group A and left them a point behind new leaders Manchester City, who thrashed Club Brugge 4-1. PSG meet City in Manchester in three weeks' time. Leipzig's faint hopes of reaching the last 16 were ended as they remain bottom of their group despite earning their first point in Europe after three previous defeats. The German club put up a fight in the 3-2 defeat at PSG a fortnight ago and made a lightning start on Wednesday. With barely 20 seconds gone, PSG captain Marquinhos had to clear off the line as Andre Silva got in behind the defence and forced Gianluigi Donnarumma into a save. The hosts kept up the pressure and deservedly took the lead when Silva's cross was met with a superb diving header by Nkunku to claim his fifth Champions League goal in four games. The 23-year-old was born in the Paris suburbs and joined Leipzig from PSG in 2019. Leipzig attacked again and when Silva was brought down in the area by Danilo Pereira, the referee pointed to the penalty spot. However the weak attempt by Silva, who has struggled for form in Leipzig since his summer transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt, was easily saved by Donnarumma with barely 11 minutes played.
