The analysis

A cheerful, controlled and full of attacking spirit beginning of the game. From the beginning, Paris FC put pressure on Nîmes and logically opened the score thanks to Khalid Boutaib. His third goal since his arrival this winter. Unfortunately, after this goal, Paris FC lost the thread of the game for a few minutes and conceded the equalizer before the break. More consistent after the break, Paris FC had situations at the end of the game to win but could also have lost the game. Vincent Demarconnay was again decisive with a penalty and kept his team in the game.

Now undefeated for 15 games, Paris FC continues to progress and will be satisfied with this point against a tough opponent.
