34th Minute: Huge chance for Xavi!
On one side of the pitch, Mohamed Simakan intervened in a moment of need and intervenes a cross, complicating Randal Kolo Muani trying to control the ball. On the other end of the pitch, Xavi took a shot in the penalty area, but PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was able to parry.
53th Minute: Vandevoort immediately tested!
The first substitutions came into the game, with Benjamin Sesko in attack and Maarten Vandevoort between the posts. Our goalkeeper had to prove himself straight off with a strong save against Kang-in Lee!
70th Minute: PSG equalizes
Goncalo Ramos received the ball in front of the penalty box and shot the ball 16 meters into the right corner. Great finish, nothing Maarten could have done.
