The final whistle goes and PSG do have the win, but that was a lot nervier than it needed to be. It finishes 3-2 in Bordeaux.
GOOOAAALLL!!! Surely not!? Bordeaux pull another back as a move the whole length of the pitch ends with Briand finding Niang, who pokes home to make it 3-2.
Goal
M. Niang
Big claims for a handball from Bordeaux, but nothing is given and it’s Niang who gets the booking for his overzealous appeals.
More changes and the most notable one is PSG withdrawing their centre-forward. He leaves the field looking slightly unhappy about it.
On
M. Icardi
Off
K. Mbappé
Bordeaux throw numbers forward and win a corner which draws roars from the crowd. The momentum is well and truly with the home side despite the scoreline.
This game was over, but PSG have completely switched off and it’s Bordeaux who sniff a comeback opportunity. Surely not?
What is going on? Bordeaux throw bodies forward and Navas makes a crucial reaction save to deny Briand, who’s only just come on. That was very close to 3-2. Very close.
GOOOAAALLL!!! Elis scores for Bordeaux and they deserve that! PSG tried to play it out from their own area, lost it, and Adli found Elis at the back stick. 3-1.
What was quite a decent game is now very pedestrian. PSG know they’ve won. Bordeaux know it too. And it’s all got a bit of a pre-season friendly vibe about it.
More changes as the game winds towards full-time.
On
I. Gueye
Off
J. Draxler
Bordeaux are still giving this a decent go even at 3-0 down.
Should be four! Neymar slides in Mbappe who goes for goal, only to slice his effort wide. There was an easy cross on for a tap-in if he’d have looked up, but going for goal is understandable from that position.
And PSG make a change immediately after the goal to give Bernat a bit of a rest as he continues his comeback from that long injury lay-off.
On
N. Mendes
Off
J. Bernat
GOOOAAALLL!!! It’s 3-0 and a peach of a goal for Paris Saint-Germain. Wijnaldum’s run is picked out by a scything through-ball and he’s clean through, but shows his selflessness to square it to the unmarked Mbappe to roll home. 3-0.
Goal
K. Mbappé
Neymar cuts the ball back to Mbappe but the forward is crowded out. There was probably a better ball on there in truth.
Close to a goal back as a deep cross very nearly sets up Elis, but Bernat does just enough to put the forward off.
Mbappe goes down in the box and is very unhappy that there is no penalty given. A few whistle from the crowd are all that accompanies the France international’s protests.
Neymar jinks around his man on the edge of the box and tries to fool the keeper with the no-look shot from a tight angle, but Costil makes the stop.
Navas is drawn into a decent save by Adli’s curling effort and PSG deal with the corner. But that’s a wake-up call for the visitors. It’s only 2-0, get this game won before going all Harlem Globetrotters on it.
Bordeaux’s chase for a comeback is leaving acres of space for PSG to counter into, and Neymar is clearly eyeing a hat-trick. This game feels like there’s more goals coming.
