Just 10 days after suffering disappointment in the World Cup final, Kylian Mbappé rescued Paris Saint-Germain with a last-gasp penalty as his side beat RC Strasbourg 2-1 in Ligue
Mbappé, who had ended up on the losing side against Argentina in Qatar 2022’s showpiece final despite scoring a hat-trick, didn’t seem to suffer any ill effects in his first match for PSG since the World Cup. The 24-year-old stepped up to score the winner from the penalty spot in the 96th minute, with virtually the last kick of the game. Marquinhos had given PSG a first-half lead but the defender then inadvertently scored an own goal after the break.
Neymar was booked twice in as many minutes, the second for a dive in the Strasbourg box. The 30-year-old Brazilian international threw himself to the ground despite no contact from the defender, as he had done earlier in the match. Mbappé moves on It was testament to Mbappé’s mentality that he was back winning games for PSG just over a week since arguably the biggest disappointment of his career.
