The PSG performance against AS Monaco, for the fourth day of the Ligue 1 in France, was not the best, but the team did not give up and there was a reward in the final stretch of the match. After VAR review, the Parisians were benefited with a penalty and Neymar, with great quality, took care of inflating the net.
The duel at the Parc des Princes was full of tension and at 67 minutes there was a positive feeling for the possibility of reaching parity on the scoreboard, after the 0-1 goal scored by Kevin Volland for the visitors: Benoit Bastien, referee of the match, received a call from his assistants in the technological area for a foul.
The play under review was a possible foul by Guillermo Maripán against Neymar, right inside the penalty area. After analyzing the scene on the monitor located next to the field, the referee decided to award the penalty and the Brazilian himself took charge of the ball, with full confidence in scoring.
After the referee's whistle, PSG's '10' performed his characteristic finish, with short steps before shooting, while goalkeeper Alexander Nübel tried to wait until the end. However, the determination of the goalkeeper did not serve much, as he did not react in time to stop the ball, which went into the net next to his right post (70').
Immediately, Neymar went to grab the ball and took it to the middle of the field, for Monaco to resume the actions. The Parisians still have time to dream of a comeback and remain as the sole leaders of the Ligue 1, as they currently tie on 10 points with Marseille and Lens.
