Early Goals and Reversals:
The game started with Clermont’s Greg Keay scoring a goal within 5 minutes, only for it to be disallowed due to a handball, thanks to video technology. However, this setback didn’t dampen the spirits of the Parisian giants, as Sergio Ramos and Kylian Mbappe quickly responded with two goals in just 5 minutes. Ramos headed a cross from Vitinha into the net, while Mbappe successfully converted a penalty kick, solidifying his position as the league’s top scorer.
Missed Opportunities and Costly Mistakes:
Despite the strong start, Paris Saint-Germain failed to capitalize on their advantage and became increasingly reckless and careless. Marco Verratti made a fatal error by returning the ball to his goalkeeper, allowing Clermont’s Johan Justin to capitalize and score a goal, narrowing the difference. The tension escalated when Zaire Emery was awarded a penalty kick for a hand ball, but Greg Keay missed the opportunity to equalize by striking the ball next to the post.
