The PSG U19s surround the referee who has just signaled the end of the U19 championship final. Their disappointment is palpable. A few seconds earlier, there was a big mess in the area and a strike from Ethan Mbappé, countered for a corner. It’s over for Zoumana Camara’s team. PSG, who defeated OM in the semi-finals, lost to Nantes. A top corner shot from Nantes striker Bahereba Guirassy (2-1, 74th) made the difference at the start of the last quarter of an hour.
For Nantes, the euphoria continues after the festive evening of maintaining L1 on Saturday evening at La Beaujoire. Before succeeding Antoine Kombouaré a month ago, Pierre Aristouy was also the coach of the Nantes U19s who won their second French championship title in a row.
On the field of the Baradel stadium in Aurillac (Cantal), PSG did not present themselves with all their assets. Holders in L1 on Saturday against Clermont (2-3), Warren Zaire-Emery and El Chadaille Bitshiabu could not play with their friends at the training center. The striker Ilyes Housni was sick (gastro). If Zoumana Camara still established him, he could not evolve at his usual level.
Nantes had also entered the match better. On an error by captain Hugo Lamy, Mafoubi deceived Louis Mouquet (1-0, 9th). But after finding the bar (32nd), Noha Lemina, the best Parisian this Sunday afternoon, equalized with a sumptuous strike (1-1, 44th).
If PSG seemed to take the lead at the start of the second half, Gharbi (51st) and Muntu Wa Mungu (61st) failed to materialize their team’s highlight. At the end, the Parisians, diminished and tired, dropped physically and conceded this goal after a personal exploit in the form of a stab from Guirassy.
