Sporting Lisbon-PSG 0-0: Dominance & Missed Chances

The Portuguese full-back missed his header. Pacho’s long ball was very good towards Dembélé. The attacker then collected the ball and sped towards the goal. The Sporting side took it back illegally. Free kick from 22 meters on the right side to follow.

While trying to block Dembélé’s cross, the Portuguese midfielder fell heavily on his ankle. The twist was inevitable, it smells like ligament twisting. He stays on the ground.

Be careful, the Portuguese have regained color. The number 17 on Sporting took his chance but fortunately for PSG, it was not on target.

The Ballon d’Or is not as inspired as Fabien Ruiz and especially less successful than against LOSC.

Superb outing from the camp, strike from Vitinha, dribbles from Doué. There was everything. Above all, there was a defender to cut off the Parisian attacker’s cross.

The corner, taken at two, does nothing.

The Spaniard tries to serve Barcola in depth. It was a very good idea but the ball is too deep. The PSG midfielder is nevertheless inspired this evening.

At the same time, you can also follow the live from parisien.fr on Real Madrid – Monaco that Lucie Lemaire brings you to life with passion. Spoiler alert: Mbappé scored a double!

The free kick is poorly taken. It’s poorly cleared and the ball returns to the feet of Sporting’s midfielder. His first intention shot is missed and flies into the stands.

Barcola is at fault in his own half. Free kick for the Portuguese.

Three more minutes to finally score.

Zaire-Emery crosses back towards Dembélé five meters away. But the ball is too hard to catch and the ball goes… into touch. Yes yes, in touch.

First ball for him in the opposing area. His shot is blocked.

77% possession, 13 shots to 1… PSG largely dominates but still cannot find the fault… We should score quickly.

Désiré Doué is too little sought after at the moment. On each of his balls, he hits, provokes and succeeds in crossing. It is systematically dangerous and always unexpected.

The Portuguese full-back from PSG is faster than his opponent. His intervention is clean and PSG will once again be able to attack Rui Silva’s goal.

Finally a little breathing room for the Portuguese. Vitinha, on his pressing on Trincao, is guilty of a slight fault.

…they fail to score. Zaire-Emery gets rid of the marking of three defenders. Ruiz tries to serve Dembélé next. It’s pushed back by the defense but it will come back very quickly.

The Parisian counterattack was well launched by Mayulu. The Parisian Titi serves Dembélé in the area. The Ballon d’Or’s dribbles are missed. It’s clear.

The Brazilian captain remained high. Doué’s cross is worked towards the defender’s head. Off balance, Marquinhos misses his head.

Already the 10th Parisian shot. It was a good start from Doué but it was blocked. The corner does nothing.

The 2,600 French supporters are making noise in the stands.

Sporting has only set foot on the Parisian field once. Paris suffocates the Portuguese.

After a few dribbles in the area, the winger pushes the ball a little far. His center, while tackling, ends directly in the gloves of Rui Silva.

What power in the Parisian environment! At the start, Doué had centered hard. Fresneda was only able to clear the ball in the middle. At 20 meters, Vitinha took the ball back with first attention. It missed the point.

Vitinha’s center is too deep. At the far post, Barcola crosses in turn towards Doué on the opposite side. The Parisian striker is too short and sends the ball into the side net.

Nice overflow from Barcola on the left wing. He centers back towards Mayulu. The Parisian midfielder takes the ball with his head, it’s on target but it lacks power.

Little by little, the Parisian left side is served. Bradley Barcola, absent since the start of the match, begins to touch a few balls.

The Portuguese midfielder takes his chance. It is calmly stopped by Silva.

The Parisian Titi, entering the penalty area on the right, takes his chance with a curling shot. The ball goes over the crossbar.

After more than three minutes of possession, Désiré Doué dribbled and eliminated two defenders. His pass towards Zaire-Emery then allows him to obtain a corner. On the corner, Doué can strike but the ball escapes wide of the target.

For the moment, the ball is at the feet of the players in red. Sporting observes and does not press very high.

PSG will play its 300th match on the European scene this evening. Paris’s record is 159 wins, 64 draws and 76 defeats.

PSG and Sporting have faced each other only once in their history. The first was a friendly match on July 14, 2010. A 4-2 victory for Antoine Kombouaré’s men at the time.

3rd with 13 points at the start of this 7th Day of the Champions League, a look back at the Parisians’ results this season.

Day 1: 4-0 victory against Atalanta

D2: 2-1 victory in Barcelona

D3: 7-2 victory in Leverkusen

D4: 2-1 home defeat against Bayern Munich

D5: 5-3 victory against Tottenham

Despite Cherki scoring, Manchester City was beaten 3-1 by Bodo/Glimt.

Dro Fernandez should arrive at PSG. The young player trained at FC Barcelona is expected to be a crack player and should sign in Paris this winter for four and a half years.

The Portuguese are 2nd in the Portuguese Liga with only one defeat. Luis Suarez (15 goals), second top scorer in the championship, starts this evening, as does top passer Francisco Trincao (7 assists).
