The analysis

After the defeat on Tuesday against Nancy, Paris FC was eager to get back on track. After a first period poor in chances and which took place on a small rhythm, Paris FC was surprised at the hour of play. A small defensive error immediately exploited by Pau. While this could have made the Parisians doubt even more, they were able to react and come back in the game thanks to a new goal of Khalid Boutaib. A point that allows to turn the counter and keep the 2nd place in the ranking.
