The crisis is getting deeper – Paris Saint-Germain are winless in the second straight Ligue 1 match (third in total)! Hakimi, Ramos, Kang-in, Mendes, Ruiz, Kolo Muani, Doue… They have all tried to get the ball past one man, who was an insurmountable obstacle tonight – Donovan Leon, Auxerre’s custodian, who was a combination of Manuel Neuer and Gianluigi Buffon tonight – 0-0.11 – Number of saves made by a goalkeeper in the European Top 5 leagues this season:13 – Mads Hermansen (Leicester) v Arsenal in September11 – Nediljko Labrovic (Augsburg) v Bayern in November11 – Donovan Léon (Auxerre) v Paris SG tonight 🆕Wall. #AJAPSG pic.twitter.com/u5KaN6QrLP— OptaJean (@OptaJean) December 6, 2024 The Parisians again seemed pretty disheartened at the beginning of the match, as it took them as much as 18 minutes to create a fair chance. Still, Goncalo Ramos failed to beat the outstanding Donovan Leon despite his powerful header. Fabian Ruiz scored a disallowed goal in the 29th minute, while Nuno Mendes wasted a colossal chance four minutes later, being stopped by Leon.Despite having full control of the game, PSG were nowhere near as concrete as they should have been to break the sturdy Auxerre’s deadlock and thus awaited the break with a level score – 0-0.Once the second period began, Luis Enrique’s men seemed more determined to open the scoring, but neither Ramos nor Achraf Hakimi and Lee Kang-in found a way to outsmart terrific Leon and all that before the 60th minute.PSG players unhappy with EnriquePSG’s dominance continued with Vitinha hitting the bar in the 69th minute, but the visitors were still goalless. Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio, and Desire Doue all got a chance during the second half, but all Enrique’s subs were futile, as the Parisians did not have a solution for Auxerre’s sturdy and organized defence.Home team proved once more that their Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps is a fortress, while Leon proved to be one of the best goalkeepers in currently in the Ligue as he stopped two outstanding Kolo Muani and Doue’s attempts in added time, keeping his team undefeated against the champions. PSG are still at the top, but Marseille and Monaco will have a chance to get closer and reduce the gap to only five points.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 14Friday Lille – Brest 3-1 (2-0)/David 7 pen, 69, Haraldsson 44 – Ajorque 48/Auxerre – PSG 0-0Saturday 19.00: (1.73) Monaco (3.60) Toulouse (5.10)21.00: (1.60) Nice (4.00) Le Havre (6.50)23.00: (5.20) Angers (3.80) Olympique Lyon (1.68)Sunday 17.00: (1.38) Lens (4.80) Montpellier (8.50)19.00: (3.10) Nantes (3.30) Rennes (2.50)19.00: (2.35) Strasbourg (3.60) Reims (3.10)22.45: (5.60) Saint-Etienne (3.90) Olympique Marseille (1.70)***odds are subject to change***
