Prior to Hakimi’s dismissal for receiving a second yellow card inside the first 20 minutes at the Parc des Princes, Lorient had already taken the lead through an early goal from Enzo Le Fee against PSG.
For the home team, Kylian Mbappe scored an opportune equalizer after Lorient goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo had mistakenly flung the ball to the ground after believing the referee had blown for a free-kick. Darlin Yongwa’s close-range goal gave Lorient the advantage again just before halftime, and they secured the victory late on.
PSG to Sell Messi, Neymar and Mbappe
Moments before Gianluigi Donnarumma saved Bamba Dieng’s effort and he went the length of the field unopposed to score in the second attempt, Dieng had a goal disallowed for offside. The final whistle was greeted by raucous jeers from the home crowd in a stadium where one end had been blocked as a result of flares being lit during a Lyon defeat earlier in April.
Hakimi and Mbappe are back in PSG
PSG is eight points ahead of Marseille at the top of the table and is still on track to win the Ligue 1 for the 11th time in a row despite suffering their sixth defeat of 2023. With a victory over Auxerre at home tomorrow, Marseille can close the deficit to five points, and Lens will be six points behind the leaders if they defeat Toulouse away in the middle of the week.
