Strasbourg 1-3 PSG: the Parisian bench turns the match at the Meinau

Giovanni Reyna opened the scoring in the 17th minute and the Meinau believed in the upset for an hour. Luis Enrique had rotated: Dembélé, Doué and Vitinha all started on the bench. The trio came on after the hour and changed everything. Illia Zabarnyi equalised in the 77th minute from a Dembélé pass, and Dembélé put Paris ahead in the 85th; Désiré Doué sealed it in stoppage time (90+2). Dembélé also missed a penalty. Nuno Mendes went off injured, and Paris finished the game with ten men.

A rotation that pays off in the last quarter

Marquinhos never made the trip: the captain was left out even though Friday’s medical bulletin reported nothing. Le Parisien and Maxifoot read it as a rest before Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Barcelona; the club has not confirmed it. Alessandro Longoni and Senny Mayulu were unavailable. In the end, two of Paris’s three goals came from substitutes, and Zabarnyi’s equaliser began with a Dembélé pass. The rotation paid off.

Hugo Oliveira’s plane flew for an hour

Before the game, the Strasbourg head coach had warned: “It’s hard to build the plane and fly it at the same time.” His young squad showed both sides of that line: enough quality to lead for an hour, not yet the experience to close out a match. Strasbourg stay 11th on 7 points. In the stands, yellow vests had appeared in the Parisian away section, echoing the national protests of the day.

The market expected it: at 1.47 with 1xbet just before kick-off, PSG were winners two times in three. Our match preview took under 3.5 goals at 2.00 with Bet365; four goals later, the bet is lost and will stay lost on the record. Monaco, level on points, play at Lorient on Sunday and can take top spot back. 18+. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
