The tops
Omnipresent di maria
As with each absence of Neymar, Angel Di Maria took the keys of the Parisian game. And the Argentinian had a big game. Omnipresent in the first period, the n ° 11 of PSG delivered a technical recital, facing Lyonnais exceeded. It was he who launched hostilities, opening the score for an inspired strike at the far post. Less visible after the break but again decisive, with perfect service for Cavani on the fourth Parisian goal.
Mbappé, the other executioner
In the wake of Di Maria, Kylian Mbappé also made a beautiful copy. Scorer at the end of the first period, with a nice dive over Lopes, the French international made the difference as soon as he was able to accelerate, especially in the left lane. He hit the bar in the second period, before being behind the fourth goal.
The entrance to Toko Ekambi
Left on the bench at kick-off, Karl Toko Ekambi energized the Rhone attack as soon as he entered at the start of the second period, in place of Cherki. The former Angevin, very legs in his right lane, made the Parisian defense bend and offered a caviar to Dembélé on the second Lyon goal.
The flops
The incredible CSC of Marçal
Led 2-0 at the break, Lyon broke down once again after returning from the locker room. On an improbable CSC of Marçal. After a first hazardous clearance from Thiago Mendes and a center back from Draxler, the former Guingampais came back in disaster but catapulted the ball with his own nets. Replaced in the process by Tete, the Lyon side lived a dirty evening. Also spectator on the opening of the score of Di Maria.
The Parisian defense air gap
At 3-0, PSG headed straight for a success as wide as it was quiet. The club of the capital was however very scared in the second half, leaving OL to revive. Several Parisian defenders, more exposed, are completely out of their match. Layvin Kurzawa no longer held his left lane while Presnel Kimpembé, who should have been kicked out before the break, showed enormous excitement in the middle.
Turpin too clement
Clément Turpin was not faultless this Sunday. Far from there. The referee of this shock showed astonishing indulgence, first on certain tackles which should have been sanctioned with a yellow card. And when he warned Kimpembé at the end of the first period, for a foul on Dembélé who started on goal, it was red that seemed to prevail. An error not corrected by the VAR. No more than the penalty forgotten for PSG at the end of the match, for an obvious fault by Rafael on Sarabia.
