PSG regains the lead: Danilo scores a goal for the 2-1 victory over Lorient in Ligue 1.

PSG received the equalizing goal in the early minutes of the second half and, from that moment, put pressure on Lorient in search of victory. After several attempts, the Parisian team scored the goal near the end of the match at Stade-Yves Allainmat.

At 81', Neymar took a corner kick and, in the heart of the area, Danilo Pereira appeared. The Portuguese footballer anticipated the opposing defenders and headed the ball to overcome the resistance of Vito Mannone's goal.

The goalkeeper, who had come on as a substitute for the injured Yvon Mvogo, tried to stop the ball, but his efforts were in vain. That way, PSG, who did not have Lionel Messi due to an Achilles tendon inflammation, scored the 2-1 goal.

With the partial victory, the team led by Christophe Galtier is in first place in the table with 38 points. Meanwhile, Lorient would remain in fourth place with 27 points.
