86′ Goal for Paris FC ! Julien le Cardinal takes the very good corner of Florent Hanin and touches the head of Djiga who deceives the Nîmes goalkeeper.

The analysis

Paris FC is recovering after its defeat against Rodez AF two weeks ago. After a lively start where the goalkeepers had their work cut out for them, both sides took their foot off the gas and struggled to create chances. Paris FC kept the ball well without losing speed, while Nîmes was playing on the counter.

At the end of the second half, the Parisians had good intentions but did not manage to get any real chances. It is only in the 87th minute that Julien le Cardinal takes the very good corner of Florent Hanin. The ball hits Djiga’s head and deceives the Nîmes keeper.

Paris FC wins and regains confidence after this international break. Next meeting next saturday, 7pm, at Charléty !
