Even spending two thirds of the match on the bench, Kylian Mbappé finds a way to be decisive.
Entering the game in the 60th minute of play to replace Marco Asensio, two days after the announcement of his departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, the captain of the France team proved that he was still focused on his task in the capital.
Always so comfortable in small spaces, the Frenchman caused a penalty in the 78th minute by sliding a small bridge to Douglas Augusto, who finally caught his ankle.

Jérôme Brisard had no choice but to call the foul and offer a penalty to the Parisians.
As usual, it was Kylian Mbappé who was responsible for converting this opportunity to double his team's lead.
Without trembling, the attacker launched a heavy shot which left Rémy Descamps, the Nantes goalkeeper, no chance.
This was the Bondynois' 32nd goal of the season, his 21st achievement in Ligue 1.
The non-starting of Kylian Mbappé this Saturday evening surprised everyone.
Starting Wednesday in the Champions League to face Real Sociedad, a match in which he was once again decisive, opening the scoring with a nice recovery from a corner, the Frenchman seemed recovered from his ankle injury which had pushed Luis Enrique to put on the bench last weekend against Lille.
To preserve his star, the Spanish coach therefore decided to let him breathe again, especially after an undoubtedly trying week, where he was at the heart of the discussions.
