- NANTES — Paris Saint-Germain made history with their unbeaten run in Ligue
1 with a 1-1 draw against FC Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire
-
- PSG have not lost any of their last 39 away matches in
Ligue 1 (30 wins, nine draws), marking the longest unbeaten away streak by any
club in the history of the top five European leagues, surpassing AC Milan's run
of 38 from 1991 to 1993.
-
- The opening goal of the contest came midway in the 33rd minute
with Vitinha breaking the scoreless deadlock. Vitinha played the ball out to
the right for Ousmane Dembélé, who accelerated and found Kang-in Lee in the
middle.
-
- After a touch to control it, the South Korean managed to
play a first-time pass to his left for Vitinha, despite a challenge from Nathan
Zeze that left him on the ground. The Portuguese midfielder charged into the
box and fired with his left foot, sending the ball into the back of the net,

-
- Following Vitinha's goal, the scoring in the match went
quiet as PSG went into the break, holding a 1-0 lead. Coming out of the
dressing room, the scoreline stayed the same until the 83rd minute, when Douglas
Augusto scored a goal.
-
- After a quick throw-in, Matthis Abline drove through the
middle and found Augusto trailing behind, who fired a powerful left-footed shot
that beat Gianluigi Donnarumma.
-
- The point is valuable for Nantes, as they are now four points
clear of Le Havre, who currently occupy the playoff relegation spot. Antoine
Kombouare and his team will also face Angers SCO and Montpellier Herault SC,
who are positioned below them in the table, as they seek to secure the points
necessary to remain in France's top flight.
-
- Following the match, Abline spoke to DAZN and the young
standout shared his thoughts on Nantes securing one point from the newly
crowned Ligue 1 McDonald's champions.
-
- "We knew it was going to be difficult; we fought and
brought back a point. Both encounters have each brought one point. We'll need
to keep that in mind for the end of the season," he said.
