Ligue 2: joined on the wire at Guingamp (1-1), Paris FC misses the opportunity to be leader

Never Thierry Laurey, with his various teams, nor Paris FC had managed to win at the Roudourou stadium in Guingamp.

A minute or so into added time, that could have been the case.

But the Parisian club which led 1-0 conceded the equalizer (1-1) in the 90th + 4.

Laurey's team misses the opportunity to overtake Toulouse (which hosts Le Havre on Monday) and temporarily take over the leader's chair.

Still 2nd, the Parisians are three points ahead of AC Ajaccio (3rd) scorer (1-0) of Sochaux (4th) during this 25th day.

Paris FC will have the opportunity to push back Sochaux, currently at 4 points, next Saturday at Charléty.

A major shock for this end of the season.

What you must remember

A failed first period, a more controlled second but the disappointment of an equalizer conceded during additional time... Paris FC went through all the states at Guingamp.

Deprived of his axial attackers (Boutaïb, Caddy) and his top scorer (Guilavogui), Thierry Laurey had chosen to keep his 4-2-3-1 but by raising Julien Lopez, placed at the forefront.

With this device, the Parisian club found it difficult to be really dangerous.

With only two shots (none on target), we can even qualify his first period as mediocre, very far from the conquering team that we have seen in recent weeks against Auxerre, AC Ajaccio or Quevilly.

Fortunately for the Parisians, Vincent Demarconnay was vigilant and Guingamp, clumsy, like the failures of Pierrot, who slipped (32nd),

🔚 Paris FC had done the hardest but must share the points.

But on returning from the locker room, it's already much better.

The PFC players finally find each other and make good shifts.

On a cross from Florent Hanin, the recovery of Lamine Gueye passes just above (62nd).

After an overflow from the Senegalese, the recovery of Alamami Gory lobbed Barbet, Guingamp's 3rd goalkeeper, but found the crossbar (64th).

Finally in the match, Paris FC is rewarded.

On a magnificent opening from Jonathan Iglesias, Julien Lopez scores with a small stung ball (0-1, 71st).

It is the first goal of the season for the Marseillais who had not scored a goal in L2 since May 15, 2021.

While Guingamp pushes to equalize, Thierry Laurey does not hesitate to bring in Jaouen Hadjam (18 years old), Yoan Koré and Loup Diwan Gueho (17 years old) for the last minutes.

But after missing a 2-0 ball by Hanin (90th + 3), Paris FC is punished by Phaëton and Gomis (1-1, 90th + 4).

The Parisians had however done the hardest part.

The player: Julien Lopez

Placed at the forefront of the attack, an unusual position for him, Julien Lopez took the opportunity to score his first goal of the season.

After an injury in December, Maxime's big brother (Sassuolo) returned to full form.

He has regained a starting position and is decisive as in the victory at Auxerre (2-1) on February 1 with a penalty kick and an assist.

The oldest outfield player in the Paris FC squad where he arrived in 2017 from Marseille Consolat, Julien Lopez recently extended his contract until June 2023.

The number: 13

Despite this frustrating outcome, Paris FC increased their unbeaten streak to 13 games without defeat (9 wins, 4 draws).

Or one game more than his previous record of invincibility in L2 which dated from the 2017-2018 season with Fabien Mercadal as coach.

GUINGAMP-PARIS FC: 1-1 (0-0).

Referee: Mr. Miguelgorry.
