After a very closed first period, although dominated by PSG (60% possession, three shots on target to zero ..), Kylian Mbappé released his team.

The French took advantage of a scramble on Juan Bernat in the opposing area to open the scoring from the penalty spot (39th).

37th goal of the world champion in the most prestigious of competitions.

Only Benfica, although not very dangerous in the current game, returned to the match, again thanks to a penalty.

After a foul by Marco Verratti on Rafa, Joao Mario equalized shortly after the hour mark (61st).

Kylian Mbappé thought he gave his team the victory at the very end of the match (83rd) but the goal was precisely refused for offside.

Paris will have to wait until the next game, against Maccabi Haifa, on October 25 to qualify.
