They were up against the wall before the meeting.
Then at the bottom of the hole for half an hour.
The PSG players finally got out of the trap in Porto (34-31), thanks to a second magical period which should serve as a reference for the future.
This 2nd victory in five matches allows them to move to 5th place in Pool A with 4 points, five lengths from 2nd place in Flensburg, held in check (29-29) at home by Meshkov Brest.
60 ': It's over!
What a second period for the Rouge et Bleu !!!!
More info to come!

What you must remember
To give yourself the best chance of winning, there's nothing like starting off strong to show who's in charge.
Led 2-0, the Parisians quickly got back together thanks to the leg of Mikkel Hansen.
The rest is more muddled.
In twenty minutes, Porto achieved the unprecedented performance of scoring ten times with ... ten different goal scorers!
The Portuguese offensive system continues to hamper PSG, who reached the break with four goals behind (16-12).
The reaction was vital.
She arrived very quickly.
In six minutes, the French champion gets back together with a dazzling 5-0 (18-18), before going ahead for the first time (20-21, 38th).
It's the old one-two for Dylan Nahi with a nice spin finish and a 2-minute suspension to boot! @Psghand turning on the style in the second half as they search for their second #ehfcl win of the season ... pic. twitter.com/4BRp5fpdNU

The rest is much better.
Raul Gonzalez's men string together goals by Dylan Nahi and Benoît Kounkoud, while Vincent Gérard stops everything in his goal.
The player: Luka Karabatic
The only one of the two brothers to set foot on the Dragao floor this Wednesday has shown that he is back, and in his best form.
Returned to competition on October 31 after missing five days of the championship, the Parisian captain scored 6 goals for the Portuguese.
Since the start of the season, he has failed only once (this Wednesday in Porto) out of 18 attempts.
Terribly efficient.
The number: 37
That is the number of goals scored by Mikkel Hansen in five Champions League matches.
The Danish PSG struck 9 times against Alfredo Quintana, the Porto goalkeeper, and delivered 9 assists.
Impressive.
