Paris Saint-Germain hosted AS Saint-Etienne this Sunday at Parc des Princes on behalf of the 33rd day of Ligue 1. ASSSE delivered a solid game, even opening the scoring, but lost 3-2 in the dying seconds after they had equalized following a 2-1 for PSG (to relive here). Author of the first goal of the match, Denis Bouanga (26-year-old Saint-Etienne winger) spoke about this particular match.
Bouanga ” The feeling is mixed. “
“It’s a hammer blow at the end. We tell ourselves that we put in a lot of effort and that we are not rewarded. It is played on details. Me the first, I’m too naive, I thought he was going to go to the left and on the center he wins the duel and it’s 3-2 … We had a good game but we could have played better some shots. We put two goals but we get caught in the end. The feeling is mixed. There is disappointment but also the satisfaction of having hooked Paris Saint-Germain. », Comments from Bouanga relayed by Goal !.
The Stéphanois did not have an extraordinary match, far from it. We have seen the classic defensive style of the Ligue 1 teams that come to the Parc des Princes. That with a lot of solidarity and concentration is good. And we can understand that the opponents of PSG do not want to take too many risks. Especially since the Parisians, as we have seen again today, have a hard time against such a team this season. It wasn’t far from being successful today.
It makes sense to have great frustration, as AS Saint-Etienne seems to have missed an opportunity. Especially after opening the scoring. But this is the harsh reminder for the Greens that a match lasts 90 minutes and that nothing should be lost. This is also the high level. Paris ended up coming out very narrowly. It’s good to have shown the strength of character to come out on top in a complicated context. Even if we expect PSG to have a little more control. At least he didn’t miss the opportunity to come back within 1 point of Lille after their draw against Montpellier.
